It’s my birthday!! And I wish a very happy birthday to my awesome sister, Leslie Seiger, whose birthday was Thursday, March 28th. Growing up, we always had birthday parties together for all our friends. We always flew kites. And if our birthdays fell on or near Easter, Mom would make us bunny cakes. (Since I’ve moved to New York, I always get a yellow cake with pink frosting from Amy’s Bread!)
In honor of the fledgling spring season, I am happy to feature this wonderful, miniature mallard duck figurine. Made by Royal Doulton, this sweet fellow (he’s a male – the females are brown) is about the size of a quarter. I saw it on the table of Michael Rabinowitz at the East 67th Street Flea Market when I visited recently. Look for Micheal’s tables along the back wall inside the market. This tiny duck may have flown to a new home, but his collection is quite intriguing each week. Visit the East 67th Street Market every Saturday, 6AM – 6PM. It’s an early one!
