Buying (and keeping?) Vintage

So on the off chance I popped in to a charity shop the other day and saw the most incredible vintage wooden perpetual wall calendar!

Look!

I love love love this calendar!

It has lived a working life. I adore it. Herein lies my dilemma. I had bought this to sell on in my Etsy shop but the more research I have done on it and in the process of cleaning it I have totally fallen in love. What do I do? Do I list it and sell it and hope that one day in the future I will come across another like it? Or do I keep it even though it doesn't completely suit my current decoration theme? But with a few small tweaks I could make it work out. My heart is telling me to keep it, my head is saying sell it! There are not many of these around and the others I have seen I have never even battered an eyelid at. But this one has captured my heart and is pulling hard at my heart strings. But my head is telling me: sell it! The cold business voice is shouting "you bought this to sell to make money to help to buy your new car!" My heart is squelling 'Keeeep it, Clara it's pretty.'
Sigh.
I am so conflicted. I am writing this before I have even taken any photos of it. (The above image was added afterwards.) The battle of head and heart when you buy vintage pieces is always this hard especially when like me you buy pieces that you could see yourself owning. I think I will list it in my Etsy shop and if it hasn't sold buy the time the first advert has expired then I will keep it as we were destined to be together. Right?

Take care
