See these little jars with lids? I call them Hobbit Jars as they look like something Frodo would have lying around his home.
Matt made them from pieces of an Australian Cedar branch that was sawn into rings. He hollowed out the centres and joined them together then made lids for them. A couple of coats of gloss lacquor and they look pretty good.
They have now been sold along with the coasters in the front of the picture as I had a craft stall last weekend with Loretta outside Fusspots Cafe.
I also sold a few of my "Greetings from Ebor" souvenir cards and a few other scrapbook related products and managed to put $110.00 into the money box. Not a bad effort for a weekend.
I had the Lute/Guitar on display as well and his guitars in the car so when a lady enquired about having Matt make a guitar for her, he accepted his first commission. YAY!!
He has spent the last week in the shed making more coasters and hobbit jars in anticipation of another stall in a few weeks.
I am also selling bookmarks and cards at the post office and at the cafe so I am picking up a little pocket money each week. Nice .....
