"tramp art"
My mom sold on eBay in the early 2000s. Spent my formative years in thrift shops. Found a small balsa wood merry go round that had a fan at the top. Burn a candle, blades spun, horses went around. It was hand made, and she sold it for like 500 dollars. We paid a buck for it.
So did you find the actual thing your Mum made 20 years ago in a thrift shop? I'm kinda confused.
My read is that mum flipped a thrift find on eBay.
Ah that makes much more sense.
Exactly. I found it, she sold it. We flipped s lot of cool stuff, including a vintage chester Cheeto sign, a Budweiser mirror from a bar. Bunch of stuff.
