DING DONG… Memories of the Avon Lady

The avon lady that visited my nan often, gave me one when I was just a little girl. I thought they were absolutely perfect lipsticks for kids.

I also loved seeing all the new things they would come out with, especially at Christmas time. They have so many more things now, and have branched out into many different areas.

Avon will always have a correlation to a doorbell. They are forever intertwined and I cherish those memories of visits from the Avon lady.
