\nPlease don'\;t bring anything \;moldy\, dirty\, super heavy\, or in need of repair. We love the old\, cool\, vintage stuff\, but if it isnt functional\, please leave it at home. \;
\nThis swap is \;not for antiques or curios\, it'\;s about usable crafting and art making materials and supplies.
\nWe do love fabric but we can'\;t use cut up t-shirts\, stuffing from your sofa\, old pillows or clothing.
\nWe also ask that you leave the \;hazardous materials \;in your garage\, including \;oil-based solvents\, house paint\, dry paint tubes\, stuff that is crazy heavy\, etc.
