My husband, who usually doesn't care WHAT I do with the things I make, has requested that I not sell this item. Once I recovered from my shock, I agreed.
A mild bit of a bummer, though, since I am pretty sure it would have been a fairly quick sell.
I guess it would be nice not to sell everything, since I am sure my great-great-great grandchildren would like to know what a weird-o I am.
They will probably pass this around at birthdays and Christmas and such as a 'gag' gift. As in, "I have the bird-riding Santa and I am going to pass it off to Joe for his 40th. I think he totally forgot about it."At least I'll be remembered, right?
Thanks for popping by! Until next time, happy bird riding Santas and other weird stuff.

I can understand why... he's enchanting!
ReplyDeleteLOL at the 'gag gift' imagery. We have a few family heirlooms like that and we pretend we don't want them when actually we are tickled pink to finally get them. Then it's even more fun choosing who to pass them along to. Your family sounds like mine.
Blessings and magic.
I can understand why he wouldn't want you to sell this piece ~It's fantastic! Something to keep in the family!
ReplyDeleteThank you also on all your comments about my witch's ...

ReplyDeleteDefinitely a keeper. I am guilty of getting rid of all my things, too. It's bittersweet when something sells, so you are wise to hang onto this guy.
