• Last Day of April. You know when the table moved was the first time I saw the log. The log and the move. At the same time was too much change for me at one time. I feel like I have a very special relationship with the trading table cause I loved it from the get go. Most of there are pieces if you know what I mean – Tea bags sewn together, the used paper from the tea bags. Recycle yourself. The puzzle pieces strung together to form a snake sort of. Well then, one day, the trading table, I have put, taken, and reput probably 25-30 items. So I took today – 1 box, 1 red paper cup. All of items I put on table are gone. I’m back again, see you soon.

The Tradin’ Post was moved from indoors to the covered patio because of nice weather, more room, and to make way for some beautiful, needed shelves for coffee and coffee accoutrements. I also started a log book so people can log their trades (see below)!

I made a sign for the Tradin’ Post using an old surf/ skateboard trainer I found at the dump. I woodburned it using a solder gun – that I do not suggest.

Ah, and I got a new table!! The green one was lent by Jon Brumit and he needed it back. He gave me this wonderful folding table that has Christmas cards underneath the plastic top.

The Tradin’ Post will be permanent ongoing installation at Mama Buzz Cafe in Oakland, CA. The only rule is that you trade of equal value. You can read a bit about it in the SF Guardian.

I’m going to post pictures along the way. If you’re a business owner and would like a Tradin’ Post of your own, please contact me.

Enjoy!
