Ebay Rocks...

For Cammon's first birthday my mother sent a small memento from my childhood...
a year-to-year birthday candle clown from Avon from 1983. Although it only goes to age 4 it is a small reminder of my earlier years, it always sat in the china cabinet and even though I don't ever remember it being used, I at least remember looking at it and playing with it. I was thrilled to now own the small glass clown and used it on top of 'Cammon's small cupcake. How devastating it was when the following week it went crashing to the ground into a million small pieces. How this clown survived 25 years in a house with 5 children and yet can't make it a week in my serene household is beyond me! Oh what joy I felt when alas someone on Ebay was selling one with the original box and candle. I had to bid, and would be relentless. Although, I was the only bidder... it seems others did not see the value in the clown... this purchase meant the world to me. Thank you Ebay seller fjk2525! Now the world is right again.
