A seattle road trip might be in the works...

There's nothing like the combination of chocolate and cream cheese frosting, which is simply the best in my book. Chocolate cake with white icing is my FAVORITE combination of all cakes and your photo looks scrumptious, Ms. Fab Baker! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-seattle-clothing-swap-meet-tradition/page/2#post-613728 Mon, 07 May 2012 00:45:42 +0000 Transcona Shannon 613728@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like you had a wonderful time - and the posts of what people came home with are fab so far!</p> <p>Greg - I'm so glad you got your piece of cake! You must have been on pins and needles waiting to see if a crumb or two made it's way home to you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-seattle-clothing-swap-meet-tradition/page/2#post-613689 Sun, 06 May 2012 23:23:21 +0000 Chrizzle 613689@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wish I could have been there. I was too busy hosting a tamale-making party for 16 adults and 6 kids, more than half of whom I'd never met before. Also, we regularly host international students for anywhere from a month to a year at a time, and our newest student arrived from the Middle East a few hours before our party began. Everything turned out well, and it was great fun, but there were many points in the day when I wished I could just escape to the Swap Meet! Enjoying reading the posts about it today. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-seattle-clothing-swap-meet-tradition/page/2#post-613570 Sun, 06 May 2012 19:14:59 +0000 Angie 613570@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Next time, Christy. </p> <p>Laura, hope to get a blog post out soon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-seattle-clothing-swap-meet-tradition/page/2#post-613563 Sun, 06 May 2012 19:08:32 +0000 morethanbeige 613563@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Janet, I am so there!

Phew! Lots of people, clothes, food and banter! Antje did an absolutely superb job of organizing the event like she always does :)</p> <p>Kari, your quiche was delicious! </p> <p>Special thanks to Kari and Amy who stayed right till the end to help clean up. You gals rock *big time*. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-seattle-clothing-swap-meet-tradition/page/2#post-613082 Sat, 05 May 2012 21:47:22 +0000 Kari 613082@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have admirable willpower! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-seattle-clothing-swap-meet-tradition#post-613080 Sat, 05 May 2012 21:43:32 +0000 Greg 613080@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes! A slice came home for me.</p> <p>It survived long enough to take this photo, but not much longer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-seattle-clothing-swap-meet-tradition#post-613078 Sat, 05 May 2012 21:40:10 +0000 Kari 613078@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Greg, I *think* there may have been some left over, a couple slices - but not much. Hopefully we left you a little! It was absolutely delicious cake.</p> <p>We had a great swap - and a tremendous turnout! I didn't come away with quite as much as last year but I'm quite pleased with the items I took home. I don't foresee any orphans. And it really made me happy to see items that I loved that didn't quite work on me looking absolutely stunning on others - a lot of my clothing left in other people's bags. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-seattle-clothing-swap-meet-tradition#post-613062 Sat, 05 May 2012 21:12:01 +0000 Inge 613062@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Greg: Oh how I feel your pain;-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-seattle-clothing-swap-meet-tradition#post-613033 Sat, 05 May 2012 19:43:02 +0000 morethanbeige 613033@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How kind of you, Greg.
