I love nannas

Great things I have bought from nannas (grannies, grandmas, call them what you will), or places that sell stuff made by nannas:

1. The Land-Prawn. I found this at the Red Cross store in the city. I had no idea what it was, but it had charm, a nice prawny colour, and eyes that followed you menacingly around the room.

2. The Scotty Dog. From the same store - they had millions of them. Somewhere in the Sydney metropolitan area there is an old woman with nothing left in her life but a pair of needles, some white yarn, and a scotty dog pattern.

3. The Very Small Bunny. This came from the Manly Primary School flea market on Saturday and is the right size for a one-year-old's hand. So why do I have it? These are questions you should not ask.

4. The Little Doggy Pin Cushion. This piece of knitted usefulness matches the Very Small Bunny. Why does one need a pin cushion with matching bunny? Again with the questions.
