Enduring

How strange, and yet compellingly, a sight to see all those caged dolls. 

What fate had befallen them. 
I was confused and concerned for these little objects of my childhood affection. 
It made me reflect that we may grow up and get older but we never really grow away
from the notion of connection we have with our toys.

The concept of these endearing little objects, who sort of look like us but not really. 
Who were there to listen to every thought we had, they always had a smile on their face and were always up for a hug. 

I think we should honour our toys, as they are apart of our own story.

Recycling is not a new concept

The Great Depression of the 1930s was a terrible time for millions of ordinary people just trying to get by. The world was not so materialist then with consumerism as the new religion of the masses. And yet with very little to lose, most lost the lot.

The current exhibition 'Skint' on at the Museum of Sydney, shows how wonderfully inventive and resilient the Aussie spirit is. When times were tough a fruit packing crate became the frame work for a settee; a bit of heavy wire and a pole became a rake.

This is a good exhibition and it has a lot to teach us, if only we are ready to learn from the past.
