This girl was too cute to not photograph. My son has this same rocking horse, only his is 35 years old. It used to be mine when I was his age! |
It's an interesting time in the culture, though. There is a movement growing in which people are seeking quality over quantity, and not a minute too soon. (Think par example of the prevalence of cheap fast food and the growth of an appreciative culture around more delicious, healthful and fairly priced "slow" food.) I think we live in an exciting moment. I'm proud of my dad that he and his work are a part of that.
So it looks like the post for another day found its expression today. Anyway, in the booth next to my dad was a charming an attractive femme d'un certain age, and I took mental notes on her that I am eager to share. But let's let her be the subject of a different post and spare my two readers' eyes from weariness on too long an entry.
How refreshing to see quality made, simple in form, toys. I love wooden toys for kids. The less plastic, electronic, plugged in, "smart" a toy is, the more imaginative a child can be. What a gift your dad has--and what a gift you have in him. xxBliss
ReplyDeleteThanks, Bliss. It's so true- I really feel imagination is compromised when our gadgets do everything for us. And you're right- we are way too lucky!
