Creepy cat is broken

This is creepy cat.  I had her at the shop for quite some time.  When moving things around one day, bumped into something with my abundant butt and she fell to the concrete floor.  The sound of her head breaking was horrifying.  Poor little cat meow.

Here she is, the poor dear.....




Her injury:




A clean break.  Very fortunate.

It is very odd to see behind another's eyes.  


The poor girl needs a new home, a hospital maybe.  She needs repair.  And if nothing else, she needs to be identified.  Do you know her maker?  (It's not Samael, I checked.)  

Just look into her eyes....how could you resist her.






It's a trap.  Run!

ZOMG!!

I had my first HUGE sale today.  Ok...so it's a book shelf, and now I need a new one to put the stuff that is on it!  Woot.

I'm like a squirrel or crow....

...I like shiny things.  It's ironic that I cannot wear base metal and so cannot keep some of these very exciting finds.  This one from Lord and Taylor, sometime in the 50's,  I think.  It's so very.  (Reference to Healthers, not just a half thought, really.)

Say hello to my little friend.

So this happened and my husband is aghast and considering the bb gun method of removal.  I have warned him that there will be grave consequences if something untoward should happen to my little friend.






He will live in my tiny garden until I find out who made him, and then go to the shop, but for now he is mine all mine.  He needs to get to work weeding.

Bust Cream or Food!

Find of the moment:  Bust cream rustic reprint.  Originally published in 1897 for Sears, this is a reprint on planks from 1983.

I absolutely love this.  If any part of me had a rustic sensibility design wise, this would be in my powder room.  Alas, that is not the case.  So off it goes to the shop.


Only $45!!


As some of you know, I have a little antiques both at Antiques Etc. as well as having things at my good friend's shop H and E Furniture here in Denver.  Subscribe or follow me for more weird and wonderful goodies.
