My pennies have a new home!


Yet another reason the Maumee Antique Store ROCKS!   How could anyone pass up this AWESOME "Henny Penny Bank"?!  I don't collect banks or even own one actually,  well not until now anyway;  but I just couldn't pass this one up!  It has a great folk art feel to it; I love the simplicity of it.   It's basically an upside down bowl form with a "pinched" piece of clay for the comb and a little beak and two little holes drilled in it for eyes.   I bet my friend Jess Benjamin will be jealous; she's a great ceramic artist out in Omaha, Nebraska.   Eat your heart out Jess!!  Now I don't have a choice, I'll have to save my pennies, see I knew there was a reason I bought this!
