While visiting Canada a number of years ago, I had the pleasure
to meet Mrs. Nettie Sharpe, one of the premier French/Canadian folk art
collectors. We met at her 300 year old home in Montreal. In her
kitchen was an old, carved
wood coin bank in the form of a loaf of bread. This
handsome object became the inspiration for my own series of carved wood and
painted coin boxes titled: "Bread Boxes: A Baker's Dozen."
The coin bank can be seen in the
Nettie Covey Sharpe House
