Somehow, thankfully I stumbled upon the ceramic animals of Aaron Murray. When my nephew Felix was two, there was a period when I would spend a couple of hours with him on Wednesdays. One Wednesday, before our visit, I went to a nearby gift store to see if I could find something sweet for our afternoon. What I found was the beginning of a love-affair of these small, handmade, ceramic animals. Felix and I would gather our animal collection and tell a story. Over time, I brought home 10-15 of these little animals - owls, ducks, cows. Some I would give to Felix, and some I kept for myself. My favorite is a small, white and black striped duck.
