Trash to Treasure Party a Success!

Hopefully you caught my first Trash to Treasure post back on April 2nd, if not click here.

We had our party on Saturday and not only was it a lot of fun, there were some great finds too! For example, a friend of mine brought a single size electric skillet that she had never used but was given to her as a housewarming party gift several years ago. When my grandmother saw it she decided that was the perfect size for her!

I got a couple of Disney movies on VHS from someone that had upgraded to DVDs, while most of what we have is DVD at home, we have a TV downstairs with a VHS player and those will be perfect when my daughter needs to be distracted downstairs for a few minutes.

There were also lots of people that picked up hair products and other beauty products there were either used a couple times or not at all- a great way to try new products! Same with bags, purses, and shoes, we all know that you get tired of those things long before they wear out, so many people got new items for their spring wardrobe.

As you can see we had lots of fun and got some great items too! We kept our food simple with some fruit, a couple dips, shrimp cocktail and some delicious desserts. Each person brought a beverage to share (wine or soft drinks) and we spent several hours on Saturday relaxing and having fun.

Whether it's yard sales, consignment shops or parties like this one I hope you think of creative ways to turn your trash into treasure!

Trash to Treasure Party- Spring Cleaning Idea

I'm so excited! Some of my friends and family are getting together in a couple weeks for a Trash to Treasure Party!

It was something we came up with after a couple conversations about spring cleaning and the fact that we always end up with boxes or bags of things that aren't really garbage but we aren't sure what to do with the stuff. For example, I love to try new hair products but my curly hair isn't always so excited so I end up with great products that have only been used a dozen times...not really trash but not useful to me anymore. Or purses that I carried a season or two, gently used. I wouldn't mind to GIVE it away but I don't really want to THROW it away! Sure, I could have a yard sale but it's not really THAT much stuff. Now as I start cleaning out closets, going through clothing and accessories, I have a mission in mind! The hard part will not be coming home with too much "trash" that I decide is a treasure.

I'll keep you posted about our party but this should be lots of fun and a good reason to get together and "shop for free"!
