My grandmother recently passed away. She has a solid oak trunk and a desk (both antique) at my aunt’s house in Florida. These pieces are very special to me emotionally and could never be replaced. However I am a very poor graduate student! How can I best get them here (Tennessee) from there (Florida)?

We do not know the weight of these items but I know they are solid and will weigh a lot.

Waiting is not an option. If I don’t get them now, I may never get them.

Thank you guys!!! :)

I am a self taught artist. My interest began as a child. I drew a picture of a lake, and took two swan jewelry pins and pinned them on the paper…voila…swans on a lake. The pins were my mother’s…I took them without her permission. This creation was a gift for my teacher…she gave the artwork back to my mother…busted!!! Mom was a bit unhappy…but, did like the creative “other use” for swan pins…She bought me more art supplies and locked up her jewelry box!

My art evolved more through my teen years…I was always in some kind of ‘trouble”…getting grounded…art was a way to pass the time while in “lock down”… I started to paint on anything and everything…which lead to painting furniture…and then mostly old chairs. I also learned quite a bit of furniture repair. I always found pleasure in bringing objects back from ruin…giving them new life. Thrift store, curb finds, things friends would give me…knowing my “talents”… All my canvas, boards, frames, etc are thrift store framed art…that I do paint overs. I also used found objects…and – ta dah…jewelry, etc. I do have a couple of large paintings…but most are smaller…I paint with the canvas laying on a flat surface…usually pour the paint on and move it around. I never have a destination…I let the painting
