National Swap Day Comes to New Orleans

January 22nd marks the first ever National Swap Day! It’s a countrywide celebration for all those who live by the swapping before shopping motto. Sponsored by Swap.com, National Swap Day is working hard to encourage individuals to begin thinking more eco and cost friendly. All across the country events will take place with swaps from fashion to sporting goods. New Orleans based Ruffian Swap will definitely be a part of the festivities! Ruffian Swap will host its first event of 2011 at The Beach House on Lake Pontchartrain this Saturday, January 22nd for 6pm. Ladies can bring out their like-new clothes, shoes and accessories to trade with others! You definitely don’t want to miss out! I recently attended a swap and swapped for a wonderful purse, you won't leave empty handed. Tickets cost $15 in advance ($20 at the door) and include a complimentary canvas swapping bag, and festive food and drinks. If you bring two friends, you swap for free :)
