Swap-O-Rama-Rama!



Swap-O-Rama-Rama took place yesterday and it was so much fun!


Follow the chalk!


QMFM Street Team was broadcasting live at "the" event in town.



Workshops throughout the day!

Still recovering from all of the festivities, so I am keeping this short with lots of images!


Before the doors were opened.


... and then it starts ....




DIY sewing stations where experienced sewers can teach and guide you to transform your new finds. Some examples included napkins made out of pants and a pair of jeans were transformed into a skirt!


If sewing wasn't your thing.. then bring your finds to Blim and have them silk screened!


Check out Julie, Lia, Becka and Richard at the front desk! Ready to take your $$, stamp your hand and sort your clothes!


Me with my 'new to me' scarf. SCORE!

Blim was my last craft fair of the season. Thank you to everybody that braved the cold weather and snow to come out to the event!
