Contraptions

Write about the first item you remember saving up to purchase.

I was always, always saving my money for cooking contraptions. I would spend hours reading the Betty Crocker magazines, or the King Arthur Flour magazines, and just dream about the ice-cream makers, the popsicle makers, the waffle irons, pans, random dishes, spoons, and so many fantastic things. I bought a beautiful popsicle thing where you pour juice into the little cups and they freeze, it was so much fun and I hardly ever used it.
