I do some weird stuff.....For example about every month of so, I drop off at the local liquor store and by a bottle of the most unique or unknown wine I can find. I like to keep the small store in business and when I find a good one, I will go back and buy a few more bottles as gifts....
I go to the thrift store and buy up small Brass pieces. I think that Brass is an amazing decor touch, stands for luck in some cultures, and when you are paying a buck or two, plus a little elbow grease, it makes an interesting gift addition, (Plus people tend to keep Brass around and when someone says.....cute knick knack...where did you get that.....OH...Our Realtor Buddy gave that to us)
Sometimes I will drive the worst, slowest country road back to the office just to see the country side and more than once, have stopped and helped a stranded motorist, or stopped at a roadside fruit stand.
But lately I have been combining these.....ON State Road 52 in Land O Lakes, there is a small winery.....I stopped in and bought a few bottles of Florida Wines....I have multiple pieces of polished Brass ready, and know exactly where to go to get the best fruit. So Guess what a few folks are getting.....
The weirdest conglomeration of Fruit and Wine basket that lots of time and very little money can buy, with a unique piece of Brass thrown in for luck.
I would like to hear what a few of you guys are doing and if I am the only WEIRDO out there that does this stuff!!
