When most people think of old things with stories, they picture furniture. Cabinets. Crocks. Oil paintings. Bread boards worn smooth by generations of hands. Carpet usually isn't on the list.

Honestly, it wasn't on ours either.

People usually see the finished photos first.

The perfectly styled booth shots. The “look what we found” moments. The pieces cleaned up and sitting pretty back home.

What they don’t always see is the part in between 😂

When we packed up the giant antique bunny mold for Brimfield, we thought it would simply be another fun conversation piece for the weekend.
