| Sundays Two (with Glenn Mehrbach) is the followup to my "Sundays" album. It features both solos (me on guitar and Glenn on piano) and duets, and features two of Glenn's originals, as well as several other selections (hymns, jazz and folk standards) that we have played at the Community Church--in services or special events--over the years. Glenn is one of the finest musicians I know, and this is an album that we both take great pride in. About Danny: go here. https://dannygotham.net | 1 | 1 | 000015.0 | 15 | .00015E7 | 15 | |

I made 10 new tracks (the second "set"), added them to the tracks from "A Good Set" (the first "set"), and thus one CD with all of the tracks.

Among them: Robin and Linda Williams, Peter Ostroushko, Orrin Star and Nina Gerber. Tons of guitar and mandolin. Everything from Hank Williams to Vivaldi to Charlie Parker to George Gershwin to Woody Guthrie to several originals from yours truly. This one also has a twenty page booklet.

| "repast" by Danny Gotham |
| repast is a double CD. I spent about two years on it; it is a special project to commemorate turning sixty and being (more or less) in one piece. I have a huge supporting cast, and the music reflects my eclectic tastes: An original mandolin waltz, a Puerto Rican cuatro piece, Count Basie's "Down for Double", a solo ukulele rendition of "Something", you name it. The one real departure for me on this album are the tracks featuring some good friends doing lead vocals. Thirty-two tracks; about an hour and forty three minutes of music. If "Guitarheel" was my magnum opus, this is a double. A very filling "meal"....Guaranteed. About Danny: go here. https://dannygotham.net | 1 | 1 | 000025.0 | 25 | .00025E7 | 25 | |

| By J. Walker McSpadden. 1923 edition published by Thomas Y. Crowell Company. Hardcopy found at a library book sale years ago. Is in poor condition but book worth it for the 11 full page color illustrations by artist Allan Stewart. Robin Hood is considered one of the best-known tales of English folklore & stories of him & his Merry Thieves have been written by various authors over the years. In popular culture, the term “Robin Hood” is often used to describe a heroic outlaw or rebel against tyranny, robbing the rich to give to the poor. Some may consider him the original social justice advocate! Others may consider him a common highway robber. Whatever you think, the low price of this book is highway robbery.

This original painting by The Community Church's own artist, Joan Meade, was hand-painted and brought to us in Florida when we lived there from 2005 to 2012. It was perfect for our Florida home so we bought it on the spot! We have enjoyed it in two houses (VA and NC) since then but, alas, it will not fit in our next home, a much smaller apartment. Perhaps this painting, which has depth because of Joan's special techniques, can grace your home or office for awhile. it is 12" W x 24" H and is signed by the artist on the front and on the back with its name. To see a larger photograph and Joan's photograph, check out A10 under Art for Walls HERE. | 1 | 0 | 000150.0 | 150 | .00025E7 | 25 | |

| No Cure for Being Human (And Other Truths I Need to Hear) |
| This book was written by Kate Bowler, the same author who wrote Everything Happens for a Reason - And Other Lies I've Loved" which Rev. Thom referred to in his September 18th sermon, "Who Cares?" On the back cover, Anne Lamott states:"Kate Bowler has paid through the nose to become a writer of uncommon spiritual wisdom, coupling an amazing sense of humor and a heart full of love. She fills me with hope." Kate Bowler is not a UU, but this book was on Rev. Thom's sabbatical reading list so I decided to get it and read it. I agree with Anne Lamott. | 1 | 0 | 000017.0 | 17 | .00005E7 | 5 | |

Four extra tracks show four different waterfalls in tropical or jungle settings with orchids, koi fish, and fresh, green plants. There are different playback features so that you can play one track continuously, play all of the films with music, play just those with natural sounds, or play all the films in a continuous loop. | 1 | 0 | 000020.0 | 20 | .00005E7 | 5 | |

To take place in February 2023, either in person at church or online, depending on Covid. (Date and time chosen is estimate, will depend on availability of auction winner participants.) "Our lives and their pathways are not fixed in stone; instead they are shaped by story. The ways in which we understand and share the stories of our lives therefore make all the difference. If we tell stories that emphasize only desolation, then we become weaker. If we tell our stories in ways that make us stronger, we can soothe our losses and ease our sorrows. Learning how to re-envision the stories we tell about ourselves can make an enormous difference in the ways we live our lives." - D.

The subtitle says that the book is "a highly judgmental, unapologetically honest accounting of all the things our elders are doing wrong." It is witty and relatable. Steven Petrow lives in Hillsborough and has his name on a local (unnamed) Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) so that he won't make at least one mistake that his parents did. Hardcover.

| Santa Clara Pueblo Owl |
| Santa Clara pottery is known for its distinctive glossy black or red finishes. To achieve blackware, the potters fire polished vessels in a smothered fire (i.e., a fire with less oxygenation). This firing technique turns the clay of the entire pot black. This small owl (2" H x 1-3/4" W) was purchased at the Santa Clara Pueblo in 1993. It is signed (Merton, 6/93) on the bottom. | 1 | 0 | 000035.0 | 35 | .00005E7 | 5 | |

He had brought it home from Central or South America on one of his many trips there and estimated that it was made 200-400 years ago. We purchased it shortly after our granddaughter (who has some Mayan ancestors) arrived from Guatemala with plans to give it to her when she became an adult. Alas, her parents divorced many years ago, and we lost contact with her (her choice) after she turned 18 so it is time to part ways with this momento. | 1 | 0 | 000050.0 | 50 | .0001E7 | 10 | |

From one of the quotes on the back cover: "You will love the way it celebrates older women's partnerships, inventiveness, professional acumen, and sexuality... with plot twists galore and non-stop good-natured humor." As the front cover says, "getting rich is the best revenge." | 1 | 0 | 000013.0 | 13 | .00005E7 | 5 | |

| Make A Quilted Placemat (or two) with the UU QUUilters |
|
Join members of the UU QUUilters group in the Gathering Room at the Church for an all-morning quilting session. You will get to make a set of two placemats to take home. Choose from an array of kits, each featuring one of two different quilt designs for piecing the top of your placemats, and one of two different methods for quilting them (either the “Quilt as You Go” or the “Pillow Turn” method). Each kit will provide illustrated directions, precut fabric and batting. Members of the UU QUUilters group will be available for personalized, 1 - 1 or 1-2 instruction and assistance. The morning will include a simple snack, and much chance for fellowship. Participants are encouraged to bring their own sewing machines plus basic sewing tools (scissors, thread, seam ripper, pins). All other needed equipment will be available to share. (If you wish to come, but it is not possible for you to bring your own sewing machine, please contact Sandy Young at 919-370-6501.) | 8 | 7 | 000080.0 | 80 | .0005E7 | 50 | 1/28/23 8:30 AM |

Bereft of all their cunning furniture and accessories, down to a single outfit they have to share between themselves for outings, and in sore need of a trip to the beauty salon at the American Girl store in Charlotte, their only hope is that a fond grandparent at the Community Church will adopt them and restore their former happy state for some lucky grandchild(ren). They are unmarked and still possess their arms and legs in working order, so they try to look on the bright side even in their reduced circumstances. The estimated value is based on website listings of what the dolls might go for with no accessories, no box etc. | 1 | 0 | 000150.0 | 150 | .0005E7 | 50 | |

| This was originally a 30-piece set that was very much enjoyed by our "builder" granddaughter. In summer 2021, it was loaned to our grand nephews who were visiting from England. It is now a 31-piece set, :-). Your 3+ year old will enjoy building the patterns in the booklet as well as creating new arrangements with these versatile magnetic pieces. You can check out some Amazon review HERE. | 1 | 0 | 000040.0 | 40 | .00005E7 | 5 | |

| Rude Osolnik Original Walnut Bowl |
| This lovely hand-made bowl measures approximately 6" x 6" across and is 1 3/4" high. Rude Osolnik was a master wood turner who lived from 1915-2001. This wooden bowl was a favorite of Susan's parents. The bottom of the bowl is signed the same way (except for walnut, not cherry) as this one that is listed on EBAY for $475. | 1 | 0 | 000200.0 | 200 | .0002E7 | 20 | |

| Richard-Ginori "Italian Fruits" Cachepot |
| A fine bone china decorative and pretty piece by the reknown Italian porcelain firm of Richard-Ginori. Hand-painted botanicals and 24-karat gilt trim highlight this piece - a lovely receptacle for your special potted plant. It is signed with the makers name and Made In Italy along with Finest In China Since 1735. The pattern is number 01531 and called Italian Fruits or Antico Doccia and depicts a colorful fruit and flowers motif on the front, sides and back. The Rococo figural relief leaf handles are gold gilded. There is a painted blue scallop design beneath the top rim. The bottom and top rim is gilded as well. The approximate dimensions are 6 1/2" tall by 6 1/2" across the top (handles not included in measurements). This was a wedding gift in 1968. The value is a best guess since one was offered on 1stDIBS for $650. There are some additional pictures there. | 1 | 1 | 000150.0 | 150 | .0002E7 | 20 | |

| Orrefors Cut Glass Crystal Vase |
| Originally designed by Gunnar Cyrén in 1961, the Sofiero collection features deep cuts to refract light to luminous effect. This cylindrical vase is 6.25" H x 3.25" D and was hand-carried (by us!) back from Sweden in the 1990s. We purchased it from the Orrefors factory (which closed in 2012). Also available from Replacements Limited for $199! | 1 | 0 | 000150.0 | 150 | .0002E7 | 20 | |
