This second installment of “Objects of Affection” continues in the vein of things long cherished. Sometimes it’s the humblest of stuff: a wooden spoon or a keychain. Sometimes it’s an investment piece that more than repays the initial outlay of cash in both constant use and deep affection.
Classic or idiosyncratic or somewhere in between, this installment has a few surprises in store, including a special appearance by everyone’s favourite danger-prone clay figurine Mr. Bill! (And if you haven’t yet read the first installment, start there first!)
Heavily invested
I want to describe my object of affection my little down vest. I’ve owned it for at least 20 years. It is light, fluffy and warm, far more so than any I have seen for sale in recent years. I have replaced the zipper twice, once with Velcro, which turned out to be a noisy way to go, so I was relieved when it was time to re-replace it.
