Minding My Gold Business

Finding gold is what good bargain buys is all about.
Now imagine finding gold but paying only 40 sek. About 3 euros.
Imagine also getting rid of stuff you don´t want at the same time.
My and my friend Kat(super photographer and fashionista) went to a event founded by an association called "Dress Off, Dress On"  At the core is the thought that instead of over consuming we can trade, and taking "one womans trash is anothers treasure" to whole new level.

How is done - turn in 7 items maximum. Have them evaluated(especially good items are labeled as silver goods) an get a ticket that says how many items you can get in return. I handed in 7 , 2 were marked as silver and 5 a regular. I did however see my own items flying off the tables and into happy hands of others.
In return I found  a total of 16 items and since Kat didn´t use all her credits she gave them to me. Bless her heart!
Also only one of what I found was marked as silver so I was allowed to get more clothes in exchange.
My silver items was true gold- a Betsy Johnson handbag.
I threw myself across the table to get it and got it without a fight! (there were definitely some hostile vibes at times but generally not) My preeeciooouuss!
Kat´s biggest gold was a beautiful corset from Bitte Kai Rand.
In all it was great fun and so worth every minute spent in the battle zone:-)

I didn´t think I´d find that much but the selection was good and the organizers had made a good job in marketing it right.
Seeing my  80´s stonewashed jeans jacket bringing a big smile on another girls face was gold too:-)
And they served cup cakes!
Pictures to come, ta ta!
