Host a 'Dustcatchers' Clothing Swap

Every one has a lot of clothes that they do not wear and a lot of friends. Combine the two by hosting a Dustcatchers.

How it works is that you hold up the item and if someone wants it then she takes it. If more than one person wants the item you do the pick a number between one and ten game.

Typically there are more clothes than anything else. Men can come as well. Anything you don't want can be donated to a charity or brought back to the next Dustcatchers. It is a free yard sale.

When I host the Dustcatchers I serve ginger tea. Forget about food. the meetings should be swift. Encourage people not to give the whole story behind each item.

I've had many of these over the years - we call them Naked Lady Parties, as we often are swapping clothes and trying things on. Whatever doesn't get claimed gets donated to Goodwill.

This is a great idea and is becoming a trendy thing to do.

We have been doing it for 30 years. It is amazing where stuff comes from. Always a lot of jackets that people leave behind.
Naked Lady is cute, I wonder if it will attract men!
