Update: BlogHer '09 - Swap Meet

This sounds great I would love to buy and sell!!

...but I'll be in Working Blogger mode and unable to bring my handfelted purses sewn from old  sweaters, Japanese-inspired stuffed animals made from socks and gloves, upcycled zipper coin purses made from plastic shopping bags ironed together, altered books, found-object necklaces... it's obvious I'm a closet crafter.

If I know the swap is happening next year, I'll definitely get some stuff together. But if it happens this year, I'll absolutely be there to buy and browse and ooh and ahhh.

I'd like to sell some cool vintage stuff.  So, count me in, please!

What the heck - I never get the time to list all this stuff on Etsy, so I'll bring all the jewelry and knit stuff and sell.

Very cool! I make wine charms and bottle stoppers! Please count me in!

Hi Lori,

 We talked about this a couple months ago.  I'm selling my print magazines for moms (Mom Writers Lit Mag) at a discounted price. Still very interested.  I also plan to shop!  :) 

I would bring my product! please let me know! I will hit the workshop! xoxox

I make sweatshop-free bags, purses, totes, etc. and would love to come sell at BlogHer. My shop is at http://www.poise.cc

I have some photo notecards that I would like to sell. I wouldn't need much room!

You know I want to sell baby. And Little Alouette (Dooce featuerd her!) also said she would sell at the conference too. So that's 2 for sure!

Keep on keeping on.

Is there any way to get more information on this I would love to bring some items from my Etsy store and sell there. Thanks!

As a BlogHer noob, I didn't know the swap meet existed, but it sounds awesome. Hope it can happen. :)

Is this just for hand made items? We have a store, www.feplush.com ( http://www.feplush.com ), where we sell stuffed animals and we'd love to bring stuff.

I bought my first SuperHero necklace last year and Jen Lemen's book...it was really fun. I would love to do it again.

we may have something to add too -

Oh yeah!  I will pack as many of my wares into a suitcase as I can!!  Slings and dresses here we come :)

It will also be so fun to see what everyone else is selling!!!

Kim, Mama to 4 sweet monkeys, one in heaven, 3 on earth!

or will those of us who work with direct sellers companies (Cookie Lee jewelry, Mary Kay cosmetics, Tupperware, etc) be allowed to sell our wares?  I've got a sizeable inventory that I wouldn't mind getting rid of at clearance prices.

I love the swap meet and really hope it's back again this year! While I know I'll be buying, I'm considering selling this year, too.

I was so unprepared last year for this and it was one of my favorite things. I would definately love to see this back...seeing as I'm so not crafty but love giving gifts that are hand made.

I would love to see the creative side of these women outside of their words on their blogs!

I have heard about the swap meet and I am looking forward to it. I would love to sell something and also be able to look at the other items. 

We all love good sales!!  How fun. 

New to the conference but not new to shopping. . . love the idea!

Now I know to bring more moolah (and plan on spending it)! or is it  a barter-type event? or both?

Would love to shop there.  Where better to find the perfect BlogHer souvenir?

I'll be buying.  It's Etsy, In Real Life.  Plus, Momomatic's rings are magically delicious.

It was such a fun time last year. The room was packed and people stayed well beyond the scheduled time. It's a nice chance to see what all your craft bloggers make in person. I hope you do this and I can sell and buy at it!
