For the first attempts of watercolor you have done it very well and as you mentioned yourself, no matter what is the result important is that you enjoyed the process.

I love the barn where your aunt is working on antique stuff, that is very important to give another chance for those time survived stuff, they have history, good quality of old masters and if it is doing to restore them is really a good work, some antique lovers would be glad to buy and pay good money for such work too.

That video about souvenirs from moose droppings is really impressive, but the business idea is good why not to do is people like to buy it. Wonderful post a lot of interesting stuff to read :)
