Wow, I am really stoked, suprised, and still in disbelief...

I went ahead and brought my tools and a 28" palm log with me to the Swap Meet, like I said I was gonna do, to keep me busy and out of trouble. Well, I had no idea it wold be such an attention getter! I had SOOO many people come up to me just to talk about what I was doing, how I learned how to carve, etc. I guess it got folks in the buying mood, 'cuz I just about sold out of all the tiki mugs I brought!

Anyway, after I was done carving, a older lady walked up and told me she had been watching the progress of the tiki all day and just had to have it. She wouldn't take no for an answer, and I got $200 for it! Mr. NoNaMe was there; he can vouch for me that I wasn't dreamin'! I'm still having a hard time believing that a total stranger thought enough of something that I made, and wanted it bad enough, to actually be willing to pay me for it. Usually I'M the one buying, not making and selling. It just seems so impossible.

I guess I'll just get over it and keep on carvin'!
