We also got bused to Painted Desert National Park again to do painting. My first check I bought groceries for my sisters and grandma. We were orphaned at a young age and stayed with an elderly grandma. We hadn't had a decent meal in ages hence the grocery shopping. I felt all grown up.

It is a style of its time 'character' pieces that stretched the everyday into art and released us from some of the pompous & melodramatic designs that people lived with for years and in the late 50's & 60's people had fun with it. Sorry that you can only see the sillyness and not the style!Ellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00494264576774267597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-36835856061324779522018-06-19T00:51:41.825+00:002018-06-19T00:51:41.825+00:00As commented above love, love love your bowl!

Great choice.<br />With my first paycheck I put a lay-by on a hand made silver and opal bracelet and paid it off religiously over 6 months AND a blue perfume atomiser for my mother. She considered both my purchases to be frivolous and indulgent and never used the perfume atomiser which I felt very sad about.<br />I still have the bracelet, wear it regularly and still love it to bits :)Ellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00494264576774267597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-84560101367177461702018-06-19T00:43:27.745+00:002018-06-19T00:43:27.745+00:00Love your bowl John.. the one on ebay is nowhere n...Love your bowl John.. the one on ebay is nowhere near as attractive.
