One of the challenges I’m experiencing as a new blogger is having junk to provide constant new material for the blog without living like a hoarder in my tiny apartment. My antique dealer uncle has become a Godsend by allowing me to borrow items every now and then that I can return to him shortly after a project. Additionally, his occasional auctions (he’s semi-retired) provide an opportunity to sell off project results without the overhead or commitment of a mall booth or etsy account.
Mind you the reverse is also true: I love old gear and when I used to work at my uncle’s auction I would spend my entire pay cheque and then some at his auctions.
I borrowed this vintage child’s sled for holiday décor, but predictably I will be leaving an absentee bid at the auction it goes for sale.
I was featured!
Sharing at these blog parties:
Absolutely darling sled and you’ve displayed it so wonderfully! I have a German sled that looks very similar, but doesn’t have any red on it. I’m thinking I need to add some after seeing this one. Thanks for sharing it with SYC. I will be featuring you this week.
hugs,
Jann
