Specialty? What's so special?

Ah, man. I want a tambour stand. A hoop with legs. Eighty bucks? This one's only $28, but still. It's a wooden hoop with legs.

I've got find some popsicle sticks so I can rig up one of my own. Or something like that.

I need a hobby that's free. Reading doesn't count. And neither does cursing the weather.

Does it have to be round? I have a frame-like thing similar to that, currently holding an embroidery project my Mother never finished. You can have it if you want it.

Oh, here: it is this,http://www.scottishfibres.co.uk/acatalog/Embstand4.jpg but much less fancy (basically dowel rods) and about 15-18-ish inches across. I can measure it later if it's what you're looking for.

Hmm, how much do you think it would cost to ship it?

Not much, especially if I can figure out how to take it apart, which shouldn't be THAT difficult, it's wingnuts. Anyhow, don't sweat postage, I can swing it. (Had a good craft show this past weekend.)

Do you (or anyone you know) need any pre-gathered nylon lace? I have whole bolts of the stuff. And about a shoebox full of old bias tape. What else might I have that you could use?

Email (lifeonwryATyahooDOTcom) me your address. I probably won't get to the post office until later this week, though.

Can I barter you something for it, then? Like a knit beret or some fingerless mitts or something? Do you have anything you need for your faire wear? Coasters?

I don't need any gathered nylon lace or bias tape. Good gods, I've got enough bias tape squirreled away. You could try Craigslist if you're desperate to get away from you.

I don't know that it is actually good enough to barter for, and it's just taking up space here anyhow. If it proves to work out for you, fantastic. If not, it looks like it'd burn real good.

Also, I may have scored a comp ticket for Bristol for you. I'll know for sure after this weekend.
