Bartering:
I like bartering. Today we helped my longtime friend get a bunch of barkdust and chips from his neighbour's overflow chipdrop leftovers from around the corner and across the street into his backyard for his mom's gardening. In trade he gave me a bag of vintage clothing to sell in future. I chose not to take any bark dust because right now there's no place to put it, I'm trying not to take things over to my dad's house yet, all his stuff upstairs that he no longer needs must go bye-bye first before we start bringing more over, inside or outside.
Speaking of selling vintage, what will eventually happen come summertime and our move is that my dad's entry way will become my home-business shop space. There's a cap on how many customers one can have per day in a home business, but as long as we're not exceding that, ... much
then we'll be solid. I need to get some room dividers and have a fancy sandwich board sign made. But that's on the later list right now.
I planted 2 garlic cloves in pots, and we'll see how that goes.
Yesterday we went and picked up a couple of costume pieces for my husband for faires, a friend made them for us and we paid her, when possible we like to support local and shop local and do local when we can afford to.
