Spring Cleaning- Spring Exchange

icywater_princess

Hello VFK!

It has been a long time since we have had a "Spring Exchange".   We have all accumulated A LOT of items over the years, and a great way to part with them is to "can" them in the recycle bin....

So, VFK, can you bring back the "spring exchange!!!"

@cute_lina and I were talking this morning and brain stormed some really cute items that you can put in the can!

The furniture from the Easter calendar

Spring tea sets

New potted plants

outdoor style rugs ( think rattan or colored)

Lawn Mower

raised garden beds we can grow plants in

just to name a few....the sky is the limit on this one!

So...come on VFK....Bring it back :)

YES!!!!! that would be an awesome addition!  The sky really is the limit with this one, and it would not take much to make it happen!!! Finger's crossed!!!

I like to have a tire swing you could attach to a tree or a wooden swing that could seat to people or a gazebo like the one in Victorian park or a raised poolhot tub. One of the spring tasks could be about doing this.

Yes please!! I was so sad when they decided not to do spring exchanges anymore. I never really did any of the exchanges except for Halloween, so Id love for another round of items Id be interested in & could really use in building! Love these ideas so far!

I actually didn't know they did away with them.  I thought they just skipped the last one.  Only exchange I did since returning was halloween, and wasn't a fan of the ripped/shredded furnish (I know some loved it...enjoy).  I'm with Ice and the rest on this.  Great ideas.  Please and thank you.

ETA:  forgot they did the Sloth exchange...can't remember the event.

@GIFT jeez, I can't for the life of me remember.  Based on checking my inventory, I see uneven amounts of the various Easy Living furnish...and that's unlike me to not have matching numbers of items (yeah, OCD, lol!).  I'm gonna say I -think- it was from a Spring exchange.  Someone else here no doubt has a better memory than me, though.  The dates in my inventory of a few pieces of that furnish puts them around April 9 to April 15, 2010.

@icywater_princess thanks for helping my memory, my friend ;)

@millsfan @VFK_staff , some modern furniture would be awesome. I had no idea they stopped the spring exchange.  I was hoping for better looking furniish in the Halloween exchange just passed (again, everyone's taste is different).  I ended up just going for the big rewards, then stopped doing that exchange, cause I had no use for 'scratch & dent' (come on, that was a pun!  lol).  Re-visiting my Easy Living storage, I forgot how classy it was/is.  Taking some out today and maybe starting a new room (because you can never have enough rooms, lol!).

They did a spring exchange in April 2010, that is where we got the  green sofa sets, 1st multi colored rug and leather furniture without the pillow.

in May 2011 they did the last spring exchange, in which we got the blue living room furniture, the mulit-colored rug (called Squares) and the leather furniture with the pillow.

sadly....those were the only 2 spring cleaning exchanges done, and it would be REALLY REALLY nice to have them back again :)

Flamanar

@GIFT , thanks for the pics!!  Nice furnish.  And your title shows up twice when I tag you as well. lol

@icywater_princess , thanks for the extra info.  Shame they stopped doing those!!!  I agree, would be great to bring them back.  FWIW.
