Houston SwapTweet + Yard Sale, July 11th
July 6th, 2010 | by Matthew Wettergreen | Published in Caroline Updates, Features, Upcoming Community Events
Got Stuff? Yeah, we all do. So, we’re coordinating a Houston SwapTweet + Yard Sale to help you exchange some of that excess stuff into *really* usable treasure!
Bring your stuff to Caroline Collective on July 11 to…
- Swap it for stuff you really want/need
- Sell it for cash to keep or donate to a local charity
- Donate it directly to a deserving charity
The Furniture Bank of Houston (http://www.fb-houston.org) will be the beneficiary of any unswapped/unsold furniture. We’re seeking another local charity/charities to receive clothing and miscellaneous items – if you know of one that would appreciate gently used items, please contact @gracerodriguez.
BAKERS: Feel free to bring goodies to raise money for your favorite charity…even if it’s yourself!)
How it works:
- Sign up to be a Swapper/Seller and/or Baker (Browser/Buyers can simply RSVP)
- You’ll receive an email with detail on table space and set-up time
- Hunt for & gather the treasures you no longer want
- Bring them to Caroline Collective on July 11 – don’t forget to bring change for buyers!
- Early morning: Sell!
- Lunchtime: Swap! (&Sell;!)
- Afternoon: Sell! Sell! SEll!
- At the end of the day, all unswapped/unsold stuff (and cash!) can be donated directly to local charities (pick up times will be pre-arranged)
Any questions? Ask @gracerodriguez, @cosmopolitician, @favouritethings. Surprises are in store, so stay tuned!

See you on July 11…
Grace, Monica, Mandy
P.S. If the Swapper/Seller RSVPs reach the maximum limit of 13, RSVP as a Browser/Buyer and comment that you want to be added to the waitlist in case a spot opens up.
P.P.S. We’ll be showing the World Cup game (projected on the wall!), so don’t worry – you won’t miss a single moment! Remember, though, it’s BYOB…whatever your beverage of choice may be.
