Here are a few of the projects we have completed over the last few weeks.  A lot of time has gone into these projects but several have already sold so that makes it all worth it.  We have several items in our booth at Angels's Antiques still for sell.

This is the latest cooler we have made.  I decided to add a little extra feature to it by actually burning the wood before I stained it.  As soon as I brought it in I had people swarming all over it.  Someone sent me a picture today from a flea market in Montgomery of this cooler that was listed at $299!!!  Some people are just stupid but what can you do.  Sure I need to make a profit but I don't plan on getting rich off one cooler!!!  Right now ANY cooler you want is $160.00.   For those of you that have already ordered from the price is what  was discussed before - so no worries.
     I did have an interesting conversation with a customer today that wanted me to call a vendor and ask to negotiate a particular price for an item.  The item was priced at $150 and they wanted to offer $50!  I told them I couldn't do that because it would be an insult and they got mad.  I called the manager and he concurred with my decision and they wound up paying the asking price.  Some people just amaze me.  I thing the next time I am in Wal-Mart I am going to ask for their best price on something I am buying and see what they say!!!
     Today we will be celebrating Thanksgiving with our family (our children).  We do this so that on the actual Thanksgiving day they won't have to choose where they are going to go.  We do not want them to have to choose between us and their other families.  It just makes it easier on everyone.  We will be frying a turkey as usual.  I will be posting a video of the process for those of you that have never tried it.  My first experience several years ago did not turn out so well but I have gotten better.  If you  have never fried a turkey before you are missing out on a treat.  The MOST important thing is making sure the turkey is fully thawed before you put it in the oil, otherwise you are going to have a problem.  As I learned a few years back!!!
      I got a call this week from a former co-worker of mine thanking me for what I had done for him and in believing in him.  That truly touched my heart.  You never know how your life may affect others and the decisions that they make and the successes that they may make because of a decision you made.  Never think for a second that your life doesn't touch others in a way you may never know.
      Check out our photo gallery for other projects we have been working on and look for our video of our annual turkey frying!!!  If you hear sirens in the back ground you will know that something went wrong!!!  Happy Thanks Giving to everyone!!
