One of the things, among many, that I collect is pigs. I love pigs. I think it all began when I first saw the animated film of Charlotte's Web when I was a child. I loved Wilbur and connected with his need for a friend. Ever since then I have collected pigs. The first ones I ever got were Christmas pigs. One has a wreath around his neck and one is draped in ribbon. I put them out every year.
Now, I don't buy everything I see that has a pig on it, but if I like it I will definitely grab it. I have pig stuffed animals, pig figurines, pig dishes. Pigs are everywhere here. And they are very subtle. There's one here and one there. I probably should get them all together in a group to see what all I have.
And I follow pigs online as well. That's how I found Esther the Wonder Pig. I just love her and am sad she's not with us anymore. But her legacy lives on and I even have one of her books thanks to Michael. I get pig items for Christmas a lot. It's been awhile but I do get them then. People have sent me pigs or given me pigs on the spur of the moment. I'm always delighted. I haven't bought any in awhile and I guess it's time to go out in search of my next pig! That is all.
