Another Huge Snow Storm
-8°C /17°F
A Revisit to Mr. Bill Buttaggi
and his Wonderful Small Toys
It's a great day to stay inside today. Our city of Montreal (Quebec,Canada, eh!) received another big snowstorm after yesterday. Today's snowfall is predicted to be between 25-40 centimeters (9.84 -15.75 inches).When I woke up this morning, it was already snowing. As I am typing at 5:45 p.m., the snow is still falling.
I went through my posts yesterday, and decided to write a post for Mr. Bill Buttaggi. He has an exceptional collection of small toys, and I decided to write just about his Tootsietoys. These toys are small, but once you see them, you immediately take a liking to them. I've written several posts before about Bill and his toys.
Bill has been collecting these "showcase" Tootsietoys for 35 years, His collection focuses mainly on pre-war (WWII). He started collecting when he was 16 years old, and he's been collecting ever since. He's even written a book about them. What I also like is his photography.The lighting is soft, without harsh shadows, and the toys are on a white foundation (seamless paper).
I didn't want to make this post too long, because I wanted everyone to visit
I didn't want to make this post too long, because I wanted everyone to visit
this wonderful site. His photography is excellent, and he's spent
a lot of time compiling and categorizing his wonderful toy collection.
His research is well-researched, and he writes very well.
So that's it for today. The days are getting longer, and there hadn't been much snowfall is the last couple of weeks. The temperatures were getting warmer, and our dog didn't mind going outside in the back yard, or for a walk.
Thanks for dropping by to visit my blog,
and as always,
have a great part of the day or night wherever you may be.
