Scatterday - P

It is the turn of the letter
and our categories this time are:

Furniture
Books
Animal
PIG in your sewing room

By my calculation, P is our preantepenultimate letter!

Furniture
How about this plant stand? It sold on eBay for $530 three years ago. Picture found here.

Books
I had several Pookie books when I was a child, but couldn't find them this week. So this picture is from eBay, where this book is for sale for $149.95 - with free postage! Apparently there were ten Pookie books, listed on the author's Wikipedia page. I've never met anyone who is familiar with Pookie, but I was happy to find a few bloggers who remember him, such as here, here, here, and here.

Animal
My dog Merle when she was a puppy. How about her pinnae? Her ears were the biggest part of her fifteen years ago.

PIG in my sewing room:
"PIGS" is an American acronym meaning "projects in grocery sacks" i.e., stuff you are still working on and keep in shopping bags. I don't keep my projects in shopping bags, so I've gone with this instead:
It is a shopping bag, covered in pigs. I made it earlier this year using the Nicole Mallalieu Zip-Away pattern


As usual, you can see what the other participants found for this challenge via the links on Cinzia's blog.

I remember Pookie books very fondly. I had one as a child. Your picture made me very nostalgic.
When I was first married I had a pet white rabbit...want to guess her name? lol.
I love your pig bag!

My childhood lit is all the worse for not knowing about Pookie! Must see if the library has some copies. the plant stands are A-Mazing. thanks for the site. The bag is very cute but Merle takes the P-cake: my softest spot is for dogs. Great post.

I love your Ps! Especially since you are using such imPressive words like preantepenultimate! (whew! 7 syllables!). Not familiar with the Pookie books. Obviously a missing in my education....
