Charm Swappers Needed


Our next Salvage Studio charm swap is August 29. We have two groups of 25 fun-loving customer friends who will get together and swap handmade charms with everyone in their group. We have five openings in the afternoon gathering, which will meet from 1 – 3 p.m. Sometimes people can’t attend in person, so Lisa and I are their proxy traders. This invitation is extended to our blog friends who live all over the place if you’d like to play with us! You would mail your 25 charms to us, and in return receive 25 fabulously different charms sent back to you.

Here are a few guidelines we have found are useful:

Each charm should not be bigger than 1 ½”.

Try to make them as water resistant as possible.

Please remember to cut back on the charms’ weight when
possible.

Your charms can be all the same or a variety.

We found it is really helpful if your name is attached
someway to each charm. A simple paper tag is fine.

The necklace in the photo is adorned with charms I have received in our swaps. If you’d like to swap charms with us, please leave a comment, and I’ll get more info to you!

Gosh, I wish I could attend!

I've always wanted to take part in something like this....Would love to give it a go if you still have openings. :-)

I can be contacted via either of my blogs. :-)

I would love to do this but don't live close by and it would be a little late to get something done now and have it there on time. Could you please include me on a list for the next time you do this? (in case I miss a blog post about it). You can contact me at this email
