Mother’s Day Clothing Swap at Wise Daughters

Saturday, May 9, 2009
2 – 6 pm

3079B Dundas Street West, Toronto, ON, M5P 1Z9
(facing Quebec Ave, just south of Dundas, behind Crema Coffee,
in the Junction)

Update your wardrobe, recycle and support the Redwood Shelter!

It’s easy:
  1. Clear out your closet of fashions that aren't "you" or don’t fit
  2. Bring your nice, clean, gently used items to the shop anytime between May 1 – May 8
  3. Come back May 9 to choose fashions from other people’s closets for only $1 per item
  4. Be chic and happy knowing that 100% of proceeds will go to the Redwood
You'll be recycling, supporting a great cause and improving your wardrobe all in one day!

From 4 – 6 pm, get a free body type analysis from creative image consultant Wendy Woods of THE REFINERY (www.therefinery.ca) to help you find items that do fit!

This swap includes women's / teens' clothing and accessories only.

Mother's Day Clothing Swap
Sat, May 9, 2 - 6
What a response!
Wise Daughters received a mountain of fabulous fashions and raised far more money than anticipated for The Redwood Shelter. Because we had much more clothing than we could even display, there will be a Part 2. On June 13 from 9 - 2, as part of the Junction-wide yard sale, we'll put out all the rest of the women's fashion treasures. This time, just for fun, it'll cost $10 for all you can stuff into the biggest Wise Daughters paper bag. Once again, 100% of the proceeds will benefit the shelter.
