Succulents for Sale November 20, 2007

We (meaning me and my sister) are raising succulents.  We have made a shelter for them using two storm windows and my old work bench.  And we’ve set it up on a picnic table next to the shop.  They’re really coming along pretty nice. 

And one time, before we had a shelter, some of our succulents got their leaves all waxy.  Then they began sort of crumbling.  We learned that was because there was too much water on them from the rain.  (You see, that was back when we actually had rain around here!) 

We are selling them.  If you buy one, my advice is keep it covered or keep it indoors.  A small arrangement is $2.00.  A large arrangement is $5.00.  And we also have some very nice pots.  We have been yard-saleing for quite a while.  For about a month, every Saturday.  Luckily we have a very good neighborhood for that.  We have an especially large block- 1 mile around to be specific.  And we get a very large amount of yard sales.  Sometimes we visit as many as four or five every Saturday.
      Sometimes we find a lot of pots, sometimes very few, but what we always find is ourselves being very sweaty!  We have a few teapots, one or two very nice hand-painted pots, some cute pots like a bunny pot, and some with bugs, too.  So if you would like to buy one, please comment or email us at my mom’s email (angelawilh@aol.com).   And please give us a location so we can drop it off.
       With the money we earn, we’re going to save up for a homemade greenhouse.  After that, some of the money is going to go to an animal shelter.  Then the rest we will save.  But of course we will pay tithes on it!
