Auction Ended: Handmade Faux Ethan Allen "Flower Garden Paper Art" - Ends 4/20 9:00 PM EST
In my family, I'm the pin guy.
I know, shocking right? Had to get the golden girls in this time around.
My four year old daughter loves the Disney movies, collecting tsum tsums, all of the Disney toys, everything Disney princess, and loves meeting the characters at the parks. Over the last year, she, too, has gotten into pins and we have bonded over working on our respective collections and looking at them together.
Then there's my wife. She loves basically all things Disney since way long before I even liked Disney. Yes, there was a time when I didn't like Disney because of an unfortunate incident there when I was 13. I lost my favorite hat on Space Mountain!
I know now I should never have been wearing it in the first place, but hindsight is 20/20. Anyway, my wife and I got engaged there and the rest is history as they say.
Anyway, out of the two of us, my wife is the creative one so when she saw this $1,199 Ethan Allen Framed Paper Art on the Disney Store, she knew that she could do that as well, if not better..
The Ethan Allen on the Disney Store
And to compare, here is the item that my wife made that you will hopefully be bidding on. She's hoping that she can at least get something nice for either my or my daughter's collection.
It's 9x9 as an FYI.
And now to the fun stuff...
