Amelia the Goose
This sweet little goose (OK, maybe not so sweet) was found at an estate sale late last fall. It sat on a shelf until the last day, broken bill taped to its back, and no one interested in taking the little quacker (or honker) home. Until I came along! Now, there was some debate as to whether this was a goose or a duck. The ladies running the estate sale really felt it was a goose so, for all intents and purposes, goose it is! This poor little goose was broken, dirty, wobbly, and priced at $8. Since it was half-price day, I paid $4. How could anyone resist that little face? This post may contain affiliate links. The first thing to do? Reattach that bill. Fortunately, it was a clean break and a little bit of wood glue took care of the problem. Some tape to hold it while the glue dried... The wood on the tail feathers had a split. A little wood filler took care of it. Time to sand and paint! This little goose was looking much better ...
