kyburgThe rocking chair finished - the one of its kind, handmade yadda ya chair is done. Multiple thousands of dollars have changed hands, the whole bit.
The chair - is in Berea, KY. $400 and change to ship it here. I'm asking Jim's mother to hang onto it until the family reunion in June.
Because, well, we'll be there - and maybe I can find a better way to get it home. Cargo on the plane back? I figure at the worst, I'll have to fork the money over - but maybe, I can pack more in the box and make it worth the trip.
I foundered on the thrift/second-hand stores in Berea. You should see the little treasures I found within an hour's search.
And then it hit me - maybe this would be the raffle/fundraiser I've been looking for - except I'm not sure how to structure it.
I'm going to contact some of the consignment/curio places around here and see if there is any interest in me doing a "search" for items that I could turn a profit on.
Ambitious as hell. Well, necessity is a mother and all that.
