A pig.
I hate pigs.
I was in the pig business for about a minute, and did not find it to my liking. Here’s photographic proof that my sister and I were in the pig business … and got paid when we sold our stock at the St Joseph, MO stockyards. High living.
Here I am with Aunt Sis. Circa 1964. We always thought it was a happy day when you sold your pigs.
So, I’ve been out of the pig business for … 50 years (OMG) until today. Until the clamor.
This is how I take a pig to market in 2015. And … it worked. Sold in the first morning it was on display.
Part of the clamor came from Jan, a good friend of ours that makes blankets, kitchen towels & such for sale at many of the same craft fairs that Mrs M’s Handmade has been visiting. Jan had an uncle, and he made it a tradition to present a pig cutting board to each young member of the family when they got married.
The problem was that Jan was the youngest, and the tradition ended before she married her husband … so she never got her pig cutting board.
Until now!
Mrs M’s Handmade will be on the road this weekend, and for the next several weeks, at craft fairs. If you’re in the market for a pig, come see us!
