On Monday night, the Clothing Exchange Melbourne held its final swap for 2011.
Taking the opportunity to celebrate, members of the Melbourne team headed down to the river, just adjacent to our glorious swapping venue (BMW Edge at Federation Square) for a waterside picnic and a glass of bubbly or two.
Our delicious picnic!
Kate provided us with a scrumptious feast and we made the most of the spectacularly warm Melbourne weather.

On a slightly sad note – but also worth celebrating – is the news that this was the last swap for Melbourne Coordinator Linda as she heads off to pursue the next chapter of her business life. Linda has been an amazing contributor to the Clothing Exchange over the past two years, driving the Melbourne events and will be greatly missed. She is heading off to concentrate on her emerging accessories label Lydra.We all look forward to seeing what will emerge as Lydra grows to a new level with Linda’s full focus and energy. Have a look at the website here to find out more about the label, recycling and nannas.

This also means a new chapter for the life of The Clothing Exchange in Melbourne so we thank you for your continued support in 2011 and look forward to seeing you in 2012 for more swapping and much more!
