This past year I've had a booth at an Antiques Mall in a nearby town. I choose the place because it is touristy and thought it would be a good choice with the kinds of things I sell. It has not been a profitable year. The rent was high, they take a commission and my best customers have been other dealers that get a discount. So I gave my notice a month ago. It was a bit disappointing. I was really hoping that it would be a success. However limited it may be. But financially it was not. In the next couple of weeks I plan on putting money down to secure another much less expensive space, in another little town. I really like the buying and selling, I really like hunting and finding cool old stuff. Then researching it, finding out all about it, or sometimes not finding any info on it! I wanted to start this blog in order to connect with other like minded buyers and sellers.
So, that's my introduction of sorts!
I found this wooden doll, stamped "made in USSR", I haven't seen one quite like it before. It opens up and I'm not sure if she originally was a stacking doll, or what she was used for. Really love her face and painted designs.
