Any interest in a thrift/yard sale swap?

Got this idea from another board....in order for it to work you would need fairly broad ISO lists, but I think it would be great fun, kind of like a treasure hunt, I always love raiding the thrift/consignment stores or yard sales, and always find neat stuff that I can't use, but I'm sure someone could... So you would post your very broad ISO list, and I might possibly ask you to fill out a general questionaire of likes/dislikes also, then we match up (pretty randomly since you never know what might be at your local store..) and go hunting for items.


OK~~those interested let's get some ISO's posted by April 3rd, I will post matchups by the 5th and send out by the 15th? (Tax day!!!)

Here is a questionaire to fill out and post along w/your ISO's


OTHER INFORMATION:

Pets?
Children ages*?

Earings? Pierced or clip?
Bracelets/cuffs? Wrist size?
Necklaces? Long? Short? Ornate? Simple?
Anklets? Ankle size?
Allergic to anything?

Shirt size? Style? Loose? Tight? Lace?
Skirt size? Mini? Long?
Pants size?
Shoe size?
Any favorite brands or brands you DON'T like?

Favorite Color?
Favorite Animal?
Colors you hate?
Would you dislike receiving items made from animal products?
Special Hobbies:

Other Dislikes:
Other Likes:

Any other information you may want your partner to know:

(Let me know if I should add anything to the list) The point is to try to think of a wide variety of things you might like, since you never know what you might find at the stores/sales....like I might find a really cool vintage radio that I would normally pass on, but if it's on your list I would remember that and snag it for you!
OK...let's have some fun!
