If anyone has any old keys they no longer need or old forks you can spare I'd be really grateful!

Hi,
First, let me say I admire your entrepreneurial spirit. I've seen the fork jewelry being sold at the Paddington markets for decent money. I'm not trying to be mean here, but my Uncle Ray gave my sister some feedback about the one she was wearing a Christmas time or 2 ago. I remember he said, "it's obviously a bent fork for fuck's sake!" Everyone just laughed nervously and I broke the silence by asking for more ham. You have to be really careful around 'Uncle Ray.'
I have 2 recommendations for you. The first is to befriend an old lady. Maybe deliver meals on wheels or something like that. Once you get to know her a bit and she trusts you, ask her about the silverware. I'm sure she'll drone on and on about 'wedding gift' this and 'after the war' that, but you'll know if she has any nice forks. Some of those sets have the big and small forks in there, so you'll be able to make different sized jewelry and sell it to the rich women's children. I've seen the Miley Cyrus clothing catalogues for tweens and this would certainly fit.
The second is to visit the Woolworth's cafeteria at Town Hall. It's on the 3rd level and will also give you opportunities to meet old people. Just order something confusing for the Thai staff, like a roast beef sandwich with gravy and then you can take some extra forks with you. The quality won't be as high as the silverware from old ladies, but don't complain because they're free. You could ask one of the old jockey's who eat there for their opinion, but just to forewarn you, he might say something like "how the fuck should I know, you're the fucking expert here. Jesus christ, what the fuck is wrong with these young people?"
Well, just don't ask him if diet coke is the best drink to go with a roast beef & gravy sandwich anyway.
