The journey can be fun. Roll down the windows (only if the skies are clear) and let your hair blow in the wind. I miss the days of no A/C and you had those little triangle windows up front.
Happy Saturday
Smile on Saturday theme: Money Box. I’ve had this carnival glass piggy bank for over 60 years.
They say money grows on trees, so today I took the little guy outside to let him root around for some change.
A nice Sunday drive through Paprihaven's delightful and magical Eastern Woods*...

This is another of our favorites from the Hallmark Peanuts Gallery. It's a nice sized battery-op bank figurine. When you place a coin in the slot, the engine sounds and the headlights come on.
The engine sound is a bit unhealthy. I don't know if that's due to the age of the toy or the quality of the sound fx but we thought it fun to reflect this in the narrative. 😊
But, it's a charming, fun toy that will now, after it's moment on the stream, go carefully back into it's box.
A box of owlies surfaced today, too. I can't wait to reunite them with the others. Of course, this isn't the way I had packed them. I was up to my knees in scrunched up newspaper when I shot this. :)
I have had both these money boxes since I was a child. The one on the left is a dime bank. You insert a dime in the hole on the front, push a lever and the dime goes in and the door on the back locks. The bank gives a count of the dimes you have saved and once you save 10 dollars in dimes, the door in back opens and you can get your dimes out. The other bank I used for pennies, nickels and the occasional quarter I might receive. I used these banks through my childhood, teenage years and into young adulthood. Now they are just display pieces.

Screen Gems character 'Scrappy' adorning a Zell Products Coin Bank (Money Box) from the mid 1930's, This was my Dad's and probably had it from new passing it on to me when I was about ten. The key was missing so I made another one from a paper clip.
This belonged to my Dad, it was handed down to him by his father...circa 1880s.
For today's Smile on Saturday.
Smile on Saturday: Money Box
This is the only money bank with a coin slot that I have -- it's just a little dollar store item that originally came with candy in it. I kept it for photography purposes and have ended up using it a couple of times now. The coin in the slot is a special edition Loonie (Canadian one-dollar coin) commemorating Canada's 150th birthday in 2017.
A chubby, curly-haired, four or five year old girl sits on the ground begging, her right hand outstretched for a coin. She is not, however, portrayed as poverty stricken. Her tunic is elaborated with inlaid copper stripes, and incised zigzag ornament, presumably imitating embroidery, frames the neckline. The Romans inherited their interest in the realistic portrayal of both the appearance and activities of children from earlier Hellenistic art. The charms of this work as a piece of sculpture should not, however, mask its function, that of a coin bank. The girl's left hand pulls down the front of her tunic, emphasizing the coin slot cut in her chest.
Like today's piggy-banks, small coin banks were popular with the Romans. Many banks have been found in the graves of children and young women. These were cherished items taken into the afterlife. Banks were also given as New Year's gifts. Most Roman coin banks, however, were simple clay repositories, much less elaborate than this one in form and material.

This is my personal work area. Hello Kitty is literally everywhere.
The big Hello Kitty next to the screen is a coin bank i bought this afternoon along with a huge advent calendar :D
I created this shot in my studio for use on my senior site but I want to share it since it is applicable to much more than just senior retirement planning. Feel free to use this image but please check out www.AssistedSeniorLiving.Net and give us a little love.
Sometimes it takes awhile to figure out exactly how to approach one of the most iconic and popular object in the ceramic world. I've seen a few features in my exploration of various piggy banks, and have been slowly integrating them into my own. This is one of the prototypes of my exploration, based on a really awesome Austrian piggy bank that I saw on Etsy once. #animal #wild #wildlife #animalbank #bank #coinbank #piggybank #clay #ceramic #stoneware #pottery #sculpture #handmade #pig #piggy #piglet #functional #claytoy #toy #indoor #yellow
Once upon a time there were five invaders sneaked into our amazing world.
But unfortunately their (space)ship was crashed and the five was missing.
So many year after that...some was found.
Here's a Snoopy bank that seems to actually have its manufacture date on it (1970) in addition to the copyright date of the character, 1958 (which people on eBay always seem to confuse on all Peanuts merchandise). It's in surprisingly good condition, but was unpriced. I left it there for someone else to find. Usually with something like this, if I don't want it, I hurl it to the floor to destroy it so no one else can have it, either. But I was feeling charitable that day. You're welcome, collector of vintage but not particularly rare Peanuts memorabilia!
I know you want one too.
Beard Papa's in Taipei is giving these away for NT$50/US$1.52 if you buy 5 puffs at the same time.
BTW, when I was in NYC in June, I had a puff from the Beard Papa's on 6th Avenue near Bleeker and it was horrible. When I used to live in NYC I remember thinking they were good (not from the West Village location though, from the one on Astor Place). But now that I've been eating them in Tokyo and Taipei, I can tell you that the New York Beard Papa's is significantly worse. (Just so you know, I'm very picky about my Beard Papa's puffs, even within Taipei, I can taste the difference between different Beard Papa locations. The best one in Taipei is the one in the basement of Sogo.)
This model is based on the Weighted Companion Cube from Portal (released in 2007).
This is actually a coin bank that is being donated to Desert Bus for Hope 10 as part of the Craft-Along.
This 1/25th scale model painted in the colors of my alma mater, the Michigan State University Spartans, is in fact a lockable coin bank.

Digital photo. Unaltered. Okay – found this guy in the trash. He's a coin bank with straw hair and four faces. This is my favorite: furious. The others are: sad, happy and nervous. Part of my ever-increasing collection of oddities that sit around collecting dust. (2008)
Aside from Bratz Boyz, I collect Coin Banks too. This are my collection 3 years ago bu I stop collecting it. My favorite is the Yellow one!

As you may have already noticed, I'm not a big talker, but today I want to share with your. At 10pm I went out to buy some food. My car broke down in the middle of nowhere: dark street with almost no light, closest gas station is a few miles away. The car acted funky, and I realized that my battery must be dying. I stepped out of my car thinking about what I'm going to do. The car wouldn't start.
A random man on a bicycle was passing by. He asked if I need any help. And please, try to understand, it's an absolute empty dark street on Saturday. Everyone is watching TV home or sleeping. I said that I'm fine. Obviously, I wasn't. And he came closer to me willing to help. It just so happen that he is working as mechanic for 20 years and was biking home. He helped me out and here I am, wondering if it all really happened to me.
I believe that the universe is sending us messages. We just need to read them. A quote for today is: "Life is only a reflection of what we allow ourselves to see."
