Due to Covid19 Brown Paper Bag Swap will start later.  Stay tuned.

Second Brown Paper Bag in 2020 is out now

Hope it will make it round the world! Have fun everybody!

The first Brown Paper Bag is flying out

As the fates would have it, were are 26 participants, so I decided to send out two brown paper bags with 13 stops to go each.
So I hope everyone will get the chance to browse more quickly now.

The first went out today, the second will follow in one or two days.

Please make sure to send it on as quick as possible.
ENJOY!

Time for a new Brown Paper Bag

This time we have no special topic, just take an add whatever you want, as long as it's papermade.

And this is how it works:
You'll sign up via e-mail and I put you on a list with your mailing adress.
On March 1st I will send out the paper bag, filled with 144 (12x12) paper oddities. When it arrives at your place, you can take up to 12 pieces out of the bag, add 12 things from your gatherings, then send it on to the next one on the list. At last the bag will be returned to me and I will have my pick.

This is limited to 20 participants, so sign in soon.

Please make sure to give me your mailing adress when signing up. Please do only sign up via e-mail to me. lawendula@gmail.com

Update: We are 25 now, so I have decided to send around 2 bags. Now be quick, there is still room, but....

10 years of Paper swap

Last chance for a paper swap.

After ten years of swapping, I regret to say, that I will not continue.

So on Nov,1st will be the last opportunity to exchange papers.

If you want to be in, just let me know via e-mail:

The Brown Paper Bag is back!!!

And at last the Brown Paper Bag has returned back to me. I will keep the project alive during next year. It’s not much work, but much joy.

Amazing, it’s always the same amount of sent items that come back to me at the end, 10%.

Amazing too, that there are many images, I thought they will be gone first, but they travel around the world and nobody wanted them, like poor Marina Abramoviç.

Thank you all, you made this a fun project!

As always I will let random decide who will be winning the whole bunch and this time it’s Beth- congratulations! Will be sending out soon!

If you want to be in next year in spring 2020, just let me know soon. Write me an e-mail with your mailing adress.

Swaps to come

The brown paper bag is packed and ready to go. We will be 17 happy bag browers and it will go from Germany to the USA and via Canada to Finland and then- I hope- back to me. More in an e-mail you must have by now.

Attention- April Quick Swap 2019 will be the last one til November! 
I am in need of a break (due to various reasons). Sorry for the change.
So if you want to be in, please sign in soon.

In November 2019 paper swap will be 10 years old and we will have a big swap again.
After that there will be no more swaps in 2020. Thank you for being part of it!

Stay tuned!
