NEW SIDE QUEST UNLOCKED: THE SALTINE STRANGER🧂

Someone left an entire grocery bag full of individually wrapped saltine crackers under the Gloucester Trinket Trade Box.

The box has been open for treasures and somehow unlocked a grocery aisle.

We’re not sure what the message is, but we appreciate the commitment to keeping Gloucester ✨salty✨

WHATS NEXT?! 😂

🎃👻 The Main Street Trinket Trade Box just got a little spooky! 👻🎃

I gave the box a Halloween makeover tonight and filled it up with some fun, spooky-themed trinkets for October!
I’ll be refilling and adding new goodies throughout the month, so you never know what you might find.

Friendly reminder as always:
✨ Take a trinket you love
✨ Leave a trinket for someone else
✨ No trash, food, or advertisements in the box

Happy spooky season, Gloucester! 🎃👻🕸️

*if you have any spooky items or would like to donate funds for box refills, spend me a message* 👻

✨ A little Trinket Trade Box reminder! ✨

As always, thank you to everyone who has been enjoying and participating in our Trinket Trade Box! It makes me SO happy to see the box being used and loved by our community!!

I want to mention something small regarding business cards. A business card for my own business was recently left inside the box, I found it today, and while I truly appreciate whoever left it and the thought behind possibly trying to help promote my business, the Trinket Trade Box is intended specifically for trinket trading and community sharing, rather than advertising or business promotion.

So, just a gentle reminder that we please keep business cards, flyers, or any other promotional materials out of the box so we can keep the space focused on what it was created for.

Lastly, if you take a trinket, please leave a trinket!

The box was freshly restocked just one week ago, and it is already looking pretty empty as you can see from the picture. The magic of the box depends on everyone participating, taking something you love and leaving a little something behind for the next person to discover.

Thank you all again for helping keep our little community trade box fun, fair, and full of surprises.

On October 1st I will be stocking the box with Halloween themed items, will continue to do so throughout the month. If you would like to donate items or funds please message the page! 👻👻🎃
