Trinket Trading at the Market
What is Trinket Trading?
Trinket trading is an activity growing in popularity amongst holistic, renaissance faire, SCA, and pagan community events! Every event has its own guidelines, but it is essentially giving or trading small items with other guests. It is very common for Trinket traders to be identified by wearing an orange ribbon, so we will continue that trend for consistency (we do not provide these)
Please read our Trinket Trading rules very thoroughly!
Trinket Trading Rules for the Holistic Market Days:
- You cannot bring trinkets to sell for profit. Out of respect for our vendors who are vetted and pay to be here, please do not sell anything onsite as a guest during the market, and do your best to avoid trading items that are sold by vendors. If you are a trinket-maker who is interested in becoming a vendor, please reach out to us for an application!
- Please avoid trading within vendor booths, particularly if that vendor sells items similar to your trinkets. Parking areas, seating areas, the walkways (so long as you're not in anyone's way), and the Free Books area are all acceptable places for Trinket Trading!
- The Holistic Market Days, Leesport Farmer's Market, Spiritual Findings, and their employees are not responsible for lost or stolen trinkets (but we will try to help locate them if we can)
- Some children will likely want to Trinket Trade too, because it's fun! Please get permission from the child's parent or guardian before trading with kids. Please do not give kids age-inappropriate trinkets. When in doubt,
- Please keep the trinkets under $5 in value
- No weapons (pocket knives and such)
Suggested Trinket Ideas:
- Tiny cork bottles of dried flowers or crystal chips
- Cool rocks, feathers, seashells, bones, or acorns you found on the ground
- Jewelry that broke but is too pretty to toss
- Origami, positive notes, tiny doodles, and other small paper items
- Charms, beads, etc
- Dried flowers or leaves
