Photographer Wanted - Swans!

Hello, I’m not from Columbia but looking to hire a photographer to help create a gift for my mother-in-law who lives in town. I’m looking for someone who can take high resolution photos of the swans at Bethel Lake at Cosmo-Bethel Park. She takes a daily walk there to check on them and has become a swan aficionado! She’s moving soon, and I would love to have some images to use to create note cards for her. Hoping to find a professional photographer and would be tremendously grateful for recommendations. She’s visiting the cygnets daily so ideally someone who could photograph them soon while the babies are still present. She really does visit frequently and would definitely talk to anyone photographing the swans so bonus points for anyone who can do a little improv! Thanks so much from New England!

Malabrigo, MadTosh, KP & More - Let’s Make A Fiber-y Deal!

All yarn kept in sealed containers from a smoke free, cat friendly home. Offers very gratefully excepted per below - but I truly cannot sell single skeins, I’m sorry.

All yarn is new and unused (mystery minis excepted), though 1 or 2 skeins have unwound a bit, though all are still intact and include original labels.

Will give a very deep discount for purchasing the lot, please feel free to make an offer on the whole lot or any of the lots below - though be warned the whole lot is huge. I am happy to try and work with offers on the below bundles to clear up space! Add a bag of mystery fingering minis (mostly Row One - some used many not) for $5 with any purchase. Otherwise I would be willing to sell as follows:

Whole lot: $400 + shipping (73 skeins total)

Custom box: 80’s style Brach’s Pick-A-Mix - send me an offer on the skeins you’d like with a price - must be $150 or more (exclusive of shipping) and we’ll try to make it work!

All KnitPicks Yarn for $150 + shipping (41 skeins total)

All Malabrigo, MadelineTosh, Lemonade Shop, Treasure Goddess, Leo & Roxy, and Stonehedge for $200 + shipping

I’m Not Saying I Want a Boring Movie, but….

I genuinely don’t want the cinematic version of someone reading me the owner’s manual from a 1976 Ford, but I also am not too fussed on a lot of plot. I’d love to find more movies that take place in a small enclosed world of their own - think submarine, cruise ship, space station, ruined Lithuanian mansion, whatever. I like a small-ish set of characters and something visually interesting (though I’m happy for that to be landscapes or a 60s style spaceship, don’t need high tech, high res, cgi or anything) that plays out in that one closed ecosystem. Loved the original Death on The Nile, enjoyed Hunt for Red October, big fan of Wes Anderson, period dramas, etc. Happy to do subtitles, not a fan of extreme body horror/torture/action movies, but anything else is fine. Would love a good movie on a space ship or something more cerebral and literary. I realize this is a bit all over the place, figured I’d give it a try and see if there a brilliant Poirot meets Jane Eyre meets Wes Anderson movie filmed entirely in a decrepit train station I somehow missed.
