🌿 Life is Succulent Presents: Our 1st Buy Nothing Fair! 🌿
Saturday & Sunday, August 23rd & 24th | 10am - 5pm
We’re so excited to host our very first Buy Nothing Fair—a weekend of community generosity, sustainable living, and shared abundance!
This event is a simple and beautiful way to give what you don’t need and take what you do. It’s all about keeping good things in circulation, out of landfills, and in the hands of neighbors who will love and use them.
Here’s How It Works:
Step 1: Gather Your Donations
✨Look around your home for gently used, clean, and functional items ready for a new life.
Perfect donations include:
✨Books, craft/art supplies, and small décor
✨Houseplants, planters, and gardening tools
✨Kitchen items, mugs, and small household goods
✨Toys, puzzles, and games
✨Gently worn clothing and accessories
Please no: large furniture, broken items, or heavily worn goods.
Step 2: Pack & Drop Off Your Items
✨Group your donations in boxes or bags (so we can easily store them prior to the event.)
✨Drop off deadline: Friday, August 22nd during shop hours
This gives our team time to sort, organize, and display items for an easy and enjoyable browsing experience during the fair.
✨If you forgot to drop your donations off ahead of time, it’s OK! We will have volunteers available during the event to accept and display new donations.
Step 3: Browse & Take Home Treasures
✨On August 23rd & 24th, our space will become a free, community-powered marketplace.
✨Take home anything that sparks joy or fills a need—free of charge!
After the event, any unclaimed items will be donated to local charities and community partners. Accepting suggestions!
đź’ˇ No donation? No problem!
You don’t have to give in order to take. This event is built on community care, not transactions—sometimes we have more to share, and sometimes we simply need support. Come as you are and take what serves you.
We Need Volunteers!
Help us make our 1st Buy Nothing Fair run smoothly and feel magical for everyone.
We’re seeking volunteers for:
✨Event Prep – Sorting and setting up donations before the fair
✨Day-of Event Support – Greeting neighbors, accepting and displaying new donations, tidying tables, and answering questions
✨Packing Up & Donating Leftovers – Helping pack up leftover items and delivering them to local organizations after the event
➡️If you’d like to volunteer, send us a direct message, email, or stop in the shop to sign up.
Your support will make this event truly special!
