It's All About the Stories

First, it has been waaaay to long since I have written a post. I got busy with real life and put this, thrifting for vintage goodies, and selling said goodies on the back burner. I have missed this part of my life.

 

On to the good stuff....
I was doing some pricing research on Etsy when I came across these Fantastic Vintage Folk Art Chickens listed in Sandi Olmstead's Etsy shop WimsyBooks.   While they really weren't anything like the piece I want to list, they were so familiar to me. I had forgotten until I saw them that my mother had something like this when I was a little girl. Warm and fuzzies.

I scrolled down to the product description expecting to find a sentence or two about the pieces. What I got was a wonderful story about how she and her husband took a detour and found themselves at this estate sale. The story goes on to tell how these chickens came to be made and for whom. Five paragraphs later I have a personal connection not only to the listed item, but to the seller. Take a moment to visit this lovely shop.

I love when sellers tell stories about the pieces they are listing.  Thank you Sandi.
