what's in your attic?

While I was looking for this fair poster, and coveting it yet again, I stumbled across this blackboard:


And, of the limited antique/flea market shopping I've done, whadya know? I have this exact blackboard in my closet at home. I ran across it one day, probably while looking for some cool paper items for Studio Calico and I paid about $10 for it.

So, when I saw it at threepotatofour, for $150, I got really excited thinking what I had was worth something!

But before you knew it, I was checking out with the Fair Poster in my cart for $60, and thought, what an idiot I am because they probably paid $3 for it. Then I wasn't so excited.

  1. yep, that's probably right but they do have cool stuff! I'm so jealous when I see other people posting awesome finds that they got for just a tiny bit of money. Our thrift stores charge $2 for ugly kids' shirts...I can NEVER find cool stuff cheap.

  6. Yeah, I love the selection at that site, but I know they mark stuff up like 1,000%. I'd rather be thrifting. Love the poster!
