Facebook Marketplace (local pickup avoids shipping costs), Mercari (better for small decor), or a local booth at an antique/craft mall.
Selling Tips
Market this using keywords like 'Cottagecore,' 'Farmhouse Kitchen,' 'Rustic Decor,' and 'Primitive.' Because it is hollow and light but bulky, calculate shipping carefully to avoid losing profit. It is best sold as part of a bundle with other kitchen decor.
