I have always been a collector of things, both useful and not so useful. As a kid, I collected tiny erasers shaped like animals and food, and rocks that looked like othercake cover that resembled a four-tiered cake. Sometime after that, I was in a thrift store and saw a big dish shaped like an ear of corn, and that became the first piece of my food-shaped ceramic collection.
