I'm sure it depends on location, economic factors, and whether the moon is in the right phase when a striped cat wandered through a specific corn field with a field mouse missing one whisker in it's mouth. One of those unpredictable things.<br />I'm betting that boy becomes an engineer of some kind and all because he had the good fortune of having someone who took the time to encourage him when the curiousity bug first hit!Ninahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07049476969325691637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30398829.post-4924787217311031952010-11-15T09:24:30.603-08:002010-11-15T09:24:30.603-08:00I love how thrilled he was... and YOU look terrifi...I love how thrilled he was... and YOU look terrific!

People will stop in their tracks and watch it go. And children LOVE to watch people spin!!!!

I've never been the average consumer, so I've never been able to predict what will sell to the masses.<br /><br />Uhm...that little boy could have been my son. Anything with a wheel he had to figure out from a very early age. Now he's a mechanical engineer. Hope the little guy has a bright, fulfilled future whatever path he chooses.<br /><br />Uhmmm....when did you ever find time to go to work before retirement?(giggle)Valeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16226371437929271405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30398829.post-10660462896221741662010-11-15T04:52:11.076-08:002010-11-15T04:52:11.076-08:00The buyers at craft fairs are a fickle bunch :) .....The buyers at craft fairs are a fickle bunch :) ... said lovingly!
