HERE ARE SOME SELECTED FOLK ART IMAGES FROM 1stdibs, objects that for me have a strong sense of authenticity. I especially like the newspaper log cabin. Made from rolled up newspapers from the American Depression years, this house won a blue ribbon in a 1932 State Fair.

I would imagine the log cabin would be most people's favourite - it's definitely mine.
Thanks for the showcase.
Cabin is clever, but I'm loving that goat.
