Knick Knack Retrospective 14

This week’s knick knack is my Apple Tree Boy Hummel. When I was a child, my mother had a sizable collection of Hummels. I both loved them and hated them. I loved to look at them, but then on dusting day I loathed them. There were quite a few of them and every single one had to be removed from the tops of the dining room furniture to be dusted (I am pretty sure that this one is broken as a result of my clumsy dusting). When my mother moved out of the house I was raised in, she offered me her Hummel collection. I loved them, but decided I would like just a few of them. I now have 7 of them. They live in my curio cabinet with many other treasures and they remind me of my childhood.
