Permalove Heart Swap 505

I know some folks make knick knacks,

They make them very well.

We all know we like giving,

But a trade would sure be swell!

Requirements: desire to give/receive. Enlist before the season starts (March 20th), swap before the season ends (June 20th). 3 self-crafted gifts out, 3 gems of others in. Make what you love (or learn how you can). We got an economy of heart pumpin' here! A ripple going both ways. With implications from the macro to the micro, is it possible to build a functional network of exchange without currency? How unstoppable is a person in their groove? How magnanimous is a community of individuals who honor each other’s natural ability and drive to emanate beauty in trade? Let’s work on this one, roll this boulder. Let’s refine our system, grow in presence, exponentiate our applications. Let’s . . . give it Up.

Please let me know if you're interested . . . robhob@gmail.com

Thanks!

Permalink Reply by Over on February 1, 2010 at 5:12pm: Thanks for your interest. A bunch of us were doing this through mail before, but I think it's better face to face and without shipping costs. I'm gonna go get my stuff in Seattle with my partner and drive back sometime before the end of February. We'll talk more then. I've just decided to settle down in the 505 (I grew up here). Got some connections, but I know there's a lot of beautiful people I never ran into. New network! If you have friends you think would be interested in this, please, spread the word!
Until next time,
