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.
