Caturday

Vintage Cats

This week I am showing two set of salt and pepper shakers. I like them not because they are salt and pepper shakers but because they are cats!
And the have such different "personalities.

Wordless Wednesday

Caturday

Copper says "No more pictures, please!"

Fun Finds

As I mentioned in my last post, I went to an auction on wednesday. Here is a photo of the two glass lots I bought. Unless the weather is bad, I unpack all my auction boxes outside (have found bugs before). I only had to throw away three pieces that were too badly damaged to be salvaged. The tall green glasses remind me of the 70s. Didn't every household have some of them?

Anniversary Tea Cup

I went to an auction Wednesday for the first time in months. Auctions are so much fun; digging for treasures, the thrill of winning the bid, getting bargains! This anniversary tea cup was one of my wins. I also got some glassware, linens and some interesting things in a junk lot (they called it five boxes of "knick knacks").

Copper LOVES eating kitty grass! It was sitting in the sink to drain after being watered and he couldn't wait.

My Busy January

I was gone 21 days during the month of January! I don't think Tigger cared that I was gone because she was still getting food and attention. But Bitsey and Copper missed me. Since I have been home, they have been staying close and giving me lots of love.

The first week of January, I joined family for a short cruise to Mexico to celebrate my brother's 5oth birthday. It was the first time I had been on a cruise and thankfully the motion sickness medicine worked!

The biggest percent of my time away was spent in Tennessee with family. It rained most of the time I was there and one day there were snow flurries. I enjoyed visiting with family, looking through old books, photos, family history papers etc. As usual, we enjoyed a meal at the Northshore Brasserie. They have the best French Onion Soup and profiteroles. And of course, no trip anywhere is complete without a visit to the local scrapbook stores. Scrappin in the City is in an old Victorian house complete with fireplaces, wood floors etc. They were very nice and had a great selection of products. And I have to admit that I also visited AC Moore and Joann's!









I had so much fun in January but I missed my cats. I am very thankful for my wonderful family and friends, who not only took care of feeding my cats and scopping litter boxes but they also gave them lots of love and attention.
