My youngest daughter, I guess she could actually be classed as a gen "X"er being that she is in her early 40's has a lot of the boomer traits in that things made of quality are more important than things made to huck in the rubbish bin but that is not to say that she may not have been an instigator of the faux collections movement. back when she was 13 she gathered up a gunny sack of cukule (cockle) burs then painted and shelacked a bunch of them she went with me on an Install to New Jersey and sold them as porcupine eggs the un painted ones went for 25c each while the fancier painted ones she got as much as $5.00 for. She included instructions on care incubation and even planting should anyone want to raise their own pet porcupines. It took me 3 or 4 days to do the install and by that time she was ready to go home for another sack full of the things.
