Thank you for an amazing swap!🧡

Are your hearts still full? Because ours are.

This was our biggest pop-up yet! Two days. Three sessions. So much love!

Over 150 swappers showed up across three sessions. Thousands of pieces found new homes. Friend groups rolling in together. Thrifty queens scanning the racks. YOUR OUTFITS. YOUR ENERGY.

By the end of each session, the floor was lighter, and the brown bags were heavier. And the soundtrack of the day? “THAT WAS MINE!”

It was girlhood at max volume. And this weekend, you showed up.

If you’re new here (hi, welcome!!)

Thanks for listening to our spiel about JGT and trusting us with your email!

We send two newsletters a month about upcoming swaps, local thrift stores, garage sales, estate sales, style tips, and more.

And we ALWAYS drop swap tickets on our newsletter first, so you get first dibs!

As you probably saw, JGT is a time. Think thrift store meets slumber party, but everyone brings their closet. And now? You’re in.

Thank you for having us, Montclair Flea!

This was our very first time popping up at Montclair Flea inside Lackawanna Station!

The vendors were so kind. We met so many new faces and saw some truly elite flea-market outfits.

Montclair Flea happens every month, and it’s always such a fun mix of vintage, makers, art, and community. We won’t always be there (we pop up in different locations around the Montclair area), but it’s absolutely worth keeping on your radar.

And Lackawanna Station hosts events year-round — Pizza Fest is coming up 👀 — so if you’re ever looking for something local to do, keep an eye on their calendar.

Big love for our JGT crew

Before anything else, our crew.

There truly wouldn’t be a clothing swap without them!

They’re the calm in the chaos. The friendly faces at the door. The photographers making your day. The hands sorting, crafting, organizing, lifting.

What people experience as a joyful, effortless event is actually powered by their warmth, time, and belief in what we’re building together.

It may look like magic. But it’s them. We’re so lucky to build this movement alongside them!

Raffle Winners 🥳

We loooooove spoiling you. Here are the winners…

✨ Lisa won a 60-minute body session with massage therapist Kendra Fitzgerald.

👩🏽‍💻 Ashley won five-day passes to co-work at Rec Room.

📸 Kelly won two free tickets to our next swap for posting during the event (she even swapped on her birthday 🥹).

We know what you’re thinking…

When’s the next one?

We’re already planning it. Late spring / early summer is the goal — and trust us, it’s going to be good.

And if your closet is already whispering “please help,” we’re also exploring a drop-off-only day so you can unload sooner.

The newsletter always hears about our pop-ups first. So you’re exactly where you need to be.
