"I love exchanging! This picture shows the outcome of SO many exchanges. I started taking wood carving as an exchange, which is where I met Maike (pictured in the middle; I am on the right). Maike had made these amazing mittens…double walled and just delicious. As she had also joined ORE, I asked if she might make me a pair. She declined to make a pair, but was game to teach the process. I found another member, Anna (pictured left) who was game to learn how to make these mittens. The three of us met up, Maike gave lessons to Anna, and then Anna made me the mittens! Anna also ended up joining in on the wood carving class. ORE has introduced me to countless friends, new skills…and the best mittens I will ever own!" - Chloe Budnick @ Onion River Exchange (ORE), Vermont . #timebankingis #community #50storiesin50days #timebanks #story #timeasmoney #lessons http://ow.ly/1cKM309xgt1
