The Neatest Festival Of the Year!

First there was Restaurant Day...and now there is "Siivousp�iv�" - aka CLEANING DAY.
No, it is not a huge party where you clean or have others clean your home - sorry.

BUT!  It's more of a flea-market kind of day.  You are able to "set up shop" and sell your items from your home that you no longer need or give them away for free.

I don't know about you - but since my local second-hand shop closed down, I am bogged down with TOO much stuff.  And it's a bit of a pain in the neck to take photos of everything and post them in albums on Facebook that nobody looks at...

This is MUCH easier.

Sell on the streets, from a certain point or from your home!!

I will be participating because I have too many strollers, too many cloth diapers and too many baby clothes and so on that NEED TO GO.  (Plus we're looking at moving in November - so the less I have to pack - the better.)

Why is this such an awesome idea?

  • No rental fees required.
  • No reservations required.
  • You'll probably find free stuff.
  • You get RID of stuff and have more space!
  • This is a great way to help the environment by not buying more things that usually are encased in plastic and other packaging that simply does not break down at all.
  • You can save money by buying things at a fraction of the cost -second-hand!
  • You're helping someone else by buying their used items or helping someone else by selling/giving it to them.

So if you're interested in more info - in English - check it out here!
And you DO NOT have to live in Finland to participate!  It's totally international!!!
