I added a new purchase to my antique portraits in frames of people with facial hair collection
It was a no brainer
c. 1950-70 ish - Mid Century Modern?
#Antiques
Rain forecast means I will not be trying to sell more old portraits at the flea market tomorrow.
Seems like it has rained for many of my attempts this year.
I thought about getting one of those pop up tent like things, but there is not enough profit in this silly hobby to justify the cost.
Oh well, next spring I'll try again.
I wish they sold pesto sauce in a single serving size @ my grocery store.
My trousers would not be happy if I ate the entire jar within a few days after opening.
Yes, I am too lazy to make it from scratch.

Flea & Farmers markets should not be allowed unless at least three vendors sell home-baked yummies.

@BillieBun Just water to clean
Scrub the unfinished backs well
Barely damp tools on the front (sponge, toothbrush Q-tips)
Trying not to let water get into the cracks
Occasionally
Colored touch-up markers (or black paint) on small edge dings and chips
On frames with no compo decoration, Restor-A-Finish & Feed-N-Wax
Seldom re-paint because that would be more money spent
@BillieBun Mine are mostly cheap. I have messed up small spots on 2 or 3 trying different things. Now it's mostly water.
It's a money losing hobby. You never earn much for the time you put in.
But, I like to imagine that I am keeping them alive for another decade or two.
