Barter Board

I like this part of Facebook. I've done several 'for free' or bartered items.
One woman was looking for princess and insect fabric. I had some insect fabric leftover from these dresses. They don't do princesses anymore! Jos doesn't do dresses much, either.

I asked, and Heather Lee was going to make card holders for her kids for card games. She picked it up Saturday, Feb. 1st, and seemed quite pleased with it!
I sewed them dresses in 2015




Orchid cactus

The next barter, I've pruned the orchid cactus.
It was a gift from Nancey in Muskoka. I have given cuttings to my client's caregiver, she's rooted it. She has a major green thumb.

It has grown some. Here it was a few years ago, and then yesterday.


Here are the cuttings... I've 4 new owners lined up.


It has such massive blossoms.

auction and bartering

This is the season to be online. We might get a titch of snow later. Snow tires are on. We're good.

This is what we expect in the next two weeks.

I love the online auction! Look at the prices. Those Beswick horses are dear. It was fun watching the count down. I am easily amused, methinks.




On Facebook there is a Barter Board. I saw a post. Carlie was looking for a red shirt. I have one. It was my dad's, from a restaurant in Bala, Muskoka. She didn't need to borrow the cap, but was going to wear a headset and an employee name tag. What fun. It turned out, she sold us our smartphone and works in a store in town!


This used to be BJ's in Bala, Muskoka! Once dad has his licence taken away, due to his brain tumour and subsequent dementia, they would phone in their fish and chips order. Mom would drive in. BJ would bring them their meal to the car window and they would take it home to eat.



I also posted our two cereal boxes. They were picked up by someone from Smiths Falls.



Jesse left these for us, just having moved from Toronto to Vancouver. We decided to pass them on. No takers so we'll take it to the store run by our local women's shelter.

Also, the fish tank pump leaked. I just need to repair a bit of the basement ceiling. 

I posted a message...

Beth replied, she gave me some tape, and some mud, as well. When we went over to get it, I took over a few baby toys our grandkids have outgrown. She has an infant.

The clean-up of the cold storage room is done!
