FLYING COLORS This Little Pig Went to Market Necklace FLYING COLORS This Little Pig Went to Market Necklace
Superb and unusual ceramic theme necklace from FLYING COLORS features the beloved counting rhyme "This Little Piggy Went to Market."

This little piggy went to market;

This little piggy had none;
This little piggy cried wee-wee-wee all the way home."


This piece is depicted in Ann Pitman's book Inside the Jewelry Box: Volume 3. All five pigs are represented, as well as the directional signs "Market" and "Home."
