Supply Swap Success!

Thanks to the many talents of the NYC Craft Mafia ladies pictured above (who happen to be savvy Etsy sellers as well that you can read up on here), the supply swapping event at the Labs yesterday left us with many happy faces and tons of inspiration!

We got the lounge organized and ready for the event and separated all the supplies onto three separate tables; the crafting miscellaneous table, the fabric table, and the sewing notions table:
Did I mention there were supplies spilling out of boxes underneath the tables and on the floor too?
We also had a larger that life "yarn bowl!"
So many amazing trinkets and ephemera:
And tons of people to come SWAP!!!




The feel of the event was so unique, because as people arrived they seemed so proud that they had just cleaned out their closets and old craft supplies (that sense of accomplishment and de-cluttering after a good spring cleaning), and then as they would start to look around, the feelings would turn to excitement at discovering a new treasure that they simply couldn't believe was actually there...and was FREE!!?? Some left with more than they came with, some with less, but best of all....everyone left happy!

This was definitely an event that we plan on repeating, so keep checking back for the details of the next one!
