Philippine items..

Looking around in the downstairs shop, I came across a "Lazy Susan" made from Monkey pod wood.

Huh?

What material?

It was carved and sold in the Philippines and my folks have had it for at least 30 years. Maybe longer.

As far as I know, they never traveled there so it must have been a present.

Online, I found that these are/were very popular souvenirs.

As you can see, the two bottom trays have lift-out bowls.




On the internet, I saw a person asking $200 and another scoffing and saying "you can get this for $5 in Manila."

Ah, but we're not in Manila.

If you're interested, please make me an offer.

Another item I am told is a traditional keepsake from that part of the world is the large (30") wooden spoon and fork set.

These hang on the wall and proclaim you appreciate carvings from the Philippines.




Here's a close up view showing carved details on the bottom shelf of the Lazy Susan.

Please let me know the value you place on these items. I'm sure we can agree on something. Call me at 843- 747-9902. Thank you.

Build a Dollhouse Replica of YOUR house...

I have put together a step-by-step folder that shows how to turn a piece of plywood into a miniature copy of your house.

Of course it's simple ...I was able to do it.

My 8-year old daughter wanted a dollhouse. But, when I shopped around, I found these things weren't cheap.

Maybe I could make one for her?

Hmmm..why not do a copy of the great looking house we had in Jefferson City, Missouri?

I am no craftsman but I can do OK with a sheet of plywood, a drill and a saw.

Plus, I would be using the actual house as my model.


I also discovered that wood putty is very helpful to cover small mistakes.

Avoid the errors I made by following all my steps outlined in the illustrated brochure.

Call me at (843)747-9902 and I'll give you directions to my house. Then come by and hand me $10 and I give you the pamphlet. Simple and no stamps needed.

Or, E-mail a request and I'll send you my address so you can send me a check.

You'll be a hero to your little girl.

Maybe even to your wife. Hey, THAT'S worth ten bucks!(Doll house replica link.)

Water Cooler On Your Desk $19

Before I retired, I bought a one gallon mini-water cooler to sit on my desk. It got comments from everyone who walked by.

This meant I was able to work harder and skip some trips away from the phone and computer. Duh!? Was I really THAT dumb?

Hey, I don't have a desk in a cubicle now.

Whew.

$19 puts this refreshing beauty on YOUR desk.

Fill it with lemonade and sell for $1 a cup. Yummy!
