the official tally is: 1 angled, and 1 curved wine bottle holders, 1 bottle stopper, 2 vases, 2 pepper mills (with a possible third), 1 advent candle holder, 1 pizza cutting board, and 1 spaghetti measure. after all that, i gave my nephew $25 for helping out. he was a hit with all the little old church ladies. one older gal who was selling stuff said that he was the cutest young man she had ever seen. my brother said that the guys where he works would probably be interested in the stuff i had, and i made up 4 pages of pictures of the stuff i had at the sale. there was one guy and his wife who made jelly out of wine (the alcohol cooked out in the process), and we had a nice talk. he has a vineyard here in minnesota, and he was thinking seriously about opening a store where they would sell their goods, and he liked my stoppers and other wine related stuff, that he would be agreeable to sell my stoppers and such on consignment. who knows what lies ahead for this....
