Facebook Marketplace, Etsy (if marketed as 'Vintage Cottagecore'), or a local flea/antique mall booth.
Selling Tips
Clean thoroughly with a soft brush to remove dust from the vines. List with keywords like 'Tuscan decor', 'Grapevine', 'Vintage Kitchen', and 'Cottagecore'. It is best bundled with other grape-themed items (like trivets or salt shakers) to make the shipping cost worthwhile for a buyer.
