Heifer and the Blowfish

Carolee and I made a trip up the beach to Manteo on Tuesday to do a little accessory shopping for the house (for those of you who have stayed in MBR2 you will be glad to know that we finally have lamps!). The trip was a success with a rug, lamps and pictures purchased from Manteo Furniture and The Cottage Shop.

While strolling the shops at the Manteo Waterfront, we ran into this little jewel in a local art gallery. This whimsical blowfish has a dual purpose...a nice decorative item for the house, but more importantly it will serve as our piggy bank for Heifer International (www.heifer.org). We have a long standing family tradition of saving our spare change and donating it to Heifer. Check out their website when you get a chance...a donation can buy a buffalo, bees, chicks, etc. and help sustain a needy family and village.
