    <description><![CDATA[In a Down Economy this Holiday Season<br />
Think Free and Green:<br />
HOLIDAY HOME ACCESSORIES SWAP<br /><br />
When your wallet&#39;s tight and the environment is gasping &quot;help me breathe,&quot; how can you find great gifts and dress up your home for the holidays while keeping your conscience green?  Attend the Sit+Sip Holiday Home Accessories Swap - the only one of it&#39;s kind. sitsip.com<br /><br />
Are you watching your wallet this holiday season?<br />
Instead of racking up the credit card bills and depleting your bank account, attend the Holiday Home Accessories Swap!  Come with three items or more and a $10 entrance fee -- everything at the swap is FREE!!<br /><br />
Replace all your unused decor with beautiful and &quot;new&quot;!<br />
Clean out all your closets and trade in those wedding and birthday gifts plus home and holiday decor items that just aren&#39;t your style.  Swap them for some new cool gifts or decor items you&#39;ll love.  Think serving trays, dishware, napkin holders, candles and candle holders, artwork, ornaments, rugs, pillows and throws.  <br /><br />
Want to make a contribution this holiday season?<br />
20% of all proceeds will benefit Seattle Children&#39;s and all non-swapped items will be donated to SC Thrift Stores.  If you are in the giving mood, you can also bring a $10 gift card for a teen being treated at Children&#39;s. <br /><br />
How it works:<br />
Folks will swap in groups of 20, taking 2 items per 10-minute swap round.  There will be 2 regular rounds and a free for all on the 3rd and last round.  Swap groups are determined by arrival time, so it&#39;s first come, first serve.  All non-swapped items will be donated to Children&#39;s Hospital Thrift Stores.<br /><br />
Some of our favorite Seattle home accessory vendors will also be there to show off and sell their beautiful small goods: pillows, pottery, collage art, etc.  See list below.<br /><br />
For more information: Check out sitsip.com, upcoming events.  For general swap questions, see our FAQ page.<br />
