Last year I
sold some fun wooden wall decorations.
I’ve seen a
lot of these signs in bars and restaurants in my days when I still frequented
such places. But those were mostly food or drink themed. Actually my co-picker found
it in November 2015. I doubted if it would go quickly. Cricket is not big in
the Netherlands and mainly played by posh university folks.
However I
liked my cricked man because his friendly face reminded me of a co-worker of
many years ago who was a pleasant peer to hang out with.
My friend
liked him simply because she is of British origin.
My real
cricket player finally found his way to my board halfway February. Indeed he
was from Leiden, renowned for its university and was going to hang it in the
club house.
This
smaller one is obviously a souvenir item, most likely from Germany. On top it
was half cracked through the middle. But then, anything handmade is worth rescuing. Found across
the street late February. This took until June to go. The buyer wrote in his
email that is was to decorate his Alpine themed caravan. Sounded cool to me,
though there aren’t any high mountains in the picture.
