One of my favorite finds a few years ago.

?v=8CE0AEC01191800

Bought it for $3.00 at a yard sale and sold it in the mall for $300.00
It's a sucker display for the counter of a candy store and made out of chalk. All I did to it was to add some suckers..
It's called Chief Watta Pop. There is also another one called Watta Pop Pup.

Hi, mgc…
Doing good? Great when things work out like that. Do you know the years that the Chief was around? Some how it raised some dust in the memory attic.

Been busy redesigning the bale garden. Keeps us outta trouble.

Say a big hi to everyone!

I know chalk figures are very collectible.
Been really dry down here. Tomorrow is a Red Flag day and we have lots of forest around us. The tribe has the best fire department around. Even have big water tanker trucks. Do you have to water the bales every day?

For the Chief..my aunt collected stuff must of seen something similar…dusty memories.

Red flag here too. The cedars we have are dropping ‘leaves’ like crazy. We been watering quite a bit. If we were still growing in the bales yes they would have to be watered…but I got brand new ones to ‘winter’. Trying out some new things with them. By starting before winter the bales need less time being conditioned come spring.
