Sweet!<br />These decoys are so cool and yes I remember when they were cheap at farm auctions in Wisconsin. Many were hand carved just cause people had “hobbies” and not alot of money. You can still find cheap stuff out <br />there. I go almost every weekend and find something amazing. Enjoy the spring and thanksBeatnhearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14825208509765183528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5546021297231951752.post-62295792669993831792011-04-19T20:50:37.547-04:002011-04-19T20:50:37.547-04:00Kim, I wonder if the decoy man here did the same w...Kim, I wonder if the decoy man here did the same with his decoys! <br /><br />Come to think of it, I have a pretty good thimble and yardstick collection.

Almost as gross as a speculum!deborah from collagewhirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18289060348720089728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5546021297231951752.post-45470667175132353002011-04-19T19:19:52.331-04:002011-04-19T19:19:52.331-04:00I seem to be acquiring scissors, tape measures and...I seem to be acquiring scissors, tape measures and now the shoe horns<br />are multiplying. ( I found a use for those to wrap my sari silk ribbon pieces around)<br />I do have one antique brass speculum but not likely to be collecting many more of those!<br />Your decoys remind me of this old Maine guy that was making decoys and selling them on the roadside. He'd carve in old dates on the bottom saying "the tourists seem to like 'em better like that"<br /><br />xoxo KimNuminosityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13464230956125740370noreply@blogger.com
