The Lottery of Useful Things

As someone who lives on a very spartan income, I am immersed in trying to rectify the situation.  At this time it is very obvious that when I give away something to charity (I.E. declutter) the object will forever remain uncompensated.
One of my attempts to bring in money was to hold a Lottery of Useful Things.  Each week I would give away one thing to someone who got the right number.  I mentioned that I would welcome something in return but only one person returned something.  This project went on for a while until I stopped it because it was, once more, too time- consuming.  After this occasion I tried, several times to attempt to get something in return for the objects that I gave away. 

I am still trying to find solutions. To sum up, it is all very fine and well to declutter you space. It is all fine and well to give to charity. But if you need money then you have to understand that once the merchandise is given away it is lost. So if you have any ideas on what to do to get some monetary compensation from things you give away they would be welcome.

Put your idea in a letter to kfabian.kathynotes@gmail.com.  You can also write your information on my Facebook page at www.facebook.com/theartfabiancompany. If you have a company that deals with this kind of problem you are welcome to forward the information.

Meanwhile, take a look at the pictures below to see what kind of objects I would be apt to pass on to somebody.

Meanwhile work on our historical documents continues at the always moving valuable gallery. KV Fabian has discovered yet another untouched treasure trove of sketchbooks dating back To the 1990s. Unfortunately it’s a little damaged and this particular film will show you some of the painstaking care the artist takes in  handling some of the damage works
