When I was a kid, I'd draw my favorite things. This piggy bank sits on a shelf in my kitchen; I've had since I was ten. I'd put my 5 cent pieces in it to save up for art and craft materials and I'd always rob it before it was anywhere near full (somethings never change!) then go to Goldings Handicrafts to buy beads, felt and paint. Its rubber stopper has long since perished, but that old bit of cheap china still hasn't lost it's charm for me. I've drawn ever since I could remember, and today, washing out my paintbrushes after a day's work, I still haven't forgotten that my first true love and talent still fills my piggybank.
Thanks for sharing that gorgeous childhood memory, Fi! (thinks: that could be a great theme for a Facebook group - "A Few Of My Favourite Childhood Things" perhap? hmmm...)
Please leave comments, but not spam and links to your webpage- as amusing as it is. I write my posts for reading. Anything with your weblink goes to trash and no-one will follow you there. Cheers :)
