Hobbies and crafts
Since I am always interested
• in the hobby or craft which
someone is doing, I am always
ready, to, encourage and assist -
if 'needed, in any way that I can.
Some time ago speaking of
hobbies - e.g.' rug making,
_ "stone" jewellery-or.-eollecting
things, I had our opnial C.P.X.
• -man Ed Jeffrey,, tell me about
the collection -Of SWANS their
• daughter had created over a few
years. In '69, in my column we.
showed Debbie and her.orans of
glass, china, -etc. et. Recently I
asked Ed if she was 'still ,
,now, she. has a_ very large ,.
collection and some very rare
and valuable,, pieces," hp replied.
After the, recognition 'given her
that time , many people have
brought her ,their fragile swans
" to add to her c011ection. Of
course father .and mother are
always on the look -out, too, I
Was ‘so . glad to .„ find ...that this
collection has grown so well, as
Many which were started during,
the,"big push" of 1966 and '67,
es had faded arid were now,
_forgotten.
I would likes,.to hear of other
collections which were •
encouraged at that time and to
-know if ,they carried on - and
how far.
Have you noticed how nice
"
•
-the colored lites are in many
sections of the town? So. cheery
and with alt the snow and bad
weather they were like a gleam
of sunshine. Thanks folks, I have
had many-.peciPle mention that
they still enjoy seeing them.
After my experience with the
_big snow, drifts I wonder
• railroad fellows had THAT much
they"
• snow -plows and big engines and
„ -men with shovels and muscles -
I just had poor little ole ME!' But
9, on hearing of their tough time it
made me think of the bit I told
•you about a kw years ago, taken
from the R,R.: Scrap 'Book. •-t--
