When Pigs Fly


Oh hello!

I was recently visiting my dear sister Jane.  In her apartment I noticed two ceramic pigs on the floor.  I found this interesting considering my sister is bit of a city girl. When I inquired, I discovered my sister has a new collection...pigs! 

On a visit to an antique mall Jane saw a cute little ceramic pig "squealing" her name! She fell in-love.  Jane thought that the pig looked happy and loved the pink little snout! However she hadn't decided if pigs were the way to go that day.    Over the next couple weeks Jane kept  thinking of the little piglet and her found memories of visiting our grandfather on the farm.  Jane has vivid memories of pigs when she was just a little girl;  she remembers all the good times on the farm and she can still hear my grandfather calling  to the pigs..."souie! souie!"

Well, my other sister Sheila decided to get some "brownie" points and surprised Jane with the pig! That was Jane's first little piggy in her collection.  Her second pig unfortunately didn't have a pink snout; so Sheila painted the snout with pink finger nail polish!  Well, this has now become the trend...the pigs must have a pink snout.  Jane looks and collects only happy pigs...she believes you can tell it the pig is happy by the way it stands and expresses itself.
Many folks collect items that remind them of their past.  Do you have a special collection that reflects your life story? If so send me some pics!
