A few things 🙂 First, over the winter we worked on raising funds for upcoming projects. That meant making and acquiring more items and selling them. As you can imagine, most of the projects at the hall are expensive and while we are willing and able to put in manual labor, materials and professionals still come with a cost. In order to offset these costs, we started to buy things at auction and create/fix up items with the intention of selling. Mostly we take our items to local consignments shops but we also use ebay and craigslist. Here are a few examples:
Chair we no longer need
Repurposed footstool
Tutu puff ball light (handmade)
Rugs
Lampshade with map (visible when turned on)
Euro pillow (reversible) – silk
You never know what kind of crazy items we might find or make 🙂Â
We also discussed the plans for this year – Laurie has decided it is to have the porches redone (thanks to Denny) and build a patio! Here is where the patio will be going:
- Long ago “before”

Progress has been made – additional posts to come 🙂
We hope everyone had a wonderful winter and is enjoying this gorgeous spring!
