My fur babies, and a couple goodies I scored

…So I scored a few great things for my birthday, I mostly went the thrift store route cause I love finding treasures, and that I did. I got a bunch of great stuff including a few books, a huge cool picture frame--that I am going to fill with a massive collage, 2 green wooden chairs, a few great articles of clothing etc etc.

…this book “Fat Cats” I picked up for my birthday is a great score for my collection.  I adore Terry Deroy Gruber’s books..he is an amazing cat photographer, with a most excellent sense of humour.  and my little tubby tuna can certainly relate to the kitties in the book…her belly jiggles as she charges into the kitchen, when she hears me in the “treat” area of the kitchen ;)

…this is a $3 chair I picked up, yeah I know…3 bucks..this pic doesn’t really do it justice, but trust me, it’s cool.  Turtles, my man kitty claimed it right off the bat.

…here’s funny little Tuna again with another great book I got called “Working Cats” by the same author…oh and it’s on the other green chair. This chair is very homemade with oodles of character and it’s very angular..again you can’t tell how cool it is by this crappy photo. (check out tuna’s funny little lip that always shows when she looks up…it makes me melt…even cuter in person espesh when you can see her itty little teeth)

******

…I’m gonna stop here cause well those are the only photos I took, and i really don’t want to bore anyone anymore.

We didn’t end up going to New York State because our car’s muffler sounds like a lawn mower and needs to be fixed, and my husband is finishing up school so had waaaaay too much work to do. We will have to make a rain check.

the Fabulous Animal Rescue Project

…I wanted to let you guys know of the amazing Fabulous Animal Rescue Project that Stacy from "Stuff" (the coolest cat toy store on the planet as far as I’m concerned) started.  How it works is people like you, me, kids, everyone can donate artwork or photographs of your favorite animals or animals you love which are then turned into greeting cards and sold as adorable sets on Etsy.  If you choose not to donate than you certainly should check out the card sets and consider purchasing them to support these amazing causes.  The sets are wonderfully cute and I cannot wait to purchase one.  Stacy has an insane huge heart of gold and only $1 goes to supplies for creating these cards and the rest of the proceeds of the sets sold are given to a Monthly Chosen Charity.  This month’s charity is a Blind Cat Rescue & Sanctuary.  Check it out HERE!!! :D

 

Notice anyone familiar? ;)

...I ADORE getting mail, bill-less mail that is. I don't get mail that I love very often, besides the odd internet purchase. But in the last month I have gotten two wonderful packages from afar, one from Reno,Nevada and one from Australia. I actually won a couple giveaways!!! I was so pumped as I never win anything, ever...so it was to my delight that I had a little bit of luck pointing in my direction.

...I'll start with the package I got first. It was from the lovely, can't speak highly enough Stuff blog. I won a Catnip pillow giveaway for my kitty dollfaces.. so I decided to put an order in at Stacey's AWESOME Etsy Shop since it was coming from that far away and I'd been meaning to order from her for so long. Her kitty toys are all handmade and insanely well done, and my kitties FREAKED for it all!. Plus they are actually very cool looking, they pick the coolest fabrics as opposed to the cheese you buy at major pet department stores. She even put up a little slide show of my kitties when they first opened up the gifts,here...too cute. She also has a heart of GOLD and is all about helping support shelters with the money she brings in from sales. If you have a cat, Check her out!!! Your cat(s) will love you for it.

...My last but certainly not least Giveaway Win, was from the oh so inspiring blog Artdecadence. She is absolutely amazing and also has a wicked cool Etsy Shop. I won a really cute, sassy set of vintage inspired napkins. As you can see below...they are almost too pretty to use though...eeeps. She also from the sweetness of her heart sent me a few other bonuses, One being like the Most Hilarious Book ever called "Pussy Pie hits town"...Thank You, Thank You...this fits in so well with my odd Cat Book collection.

...this book slays me with giggles.

...these are the cute napkins I received which say "I need to believe in something. I believe I'll have another Drink.", with the funny "Pussy Pie" book, as well as one of the "Binky Mats" from Stuff. (fur covered a la Turtles)

...So there you have it...I just had to get that out of my system and share the love to these awesome ladies. I love the bloggy community, I've met the nicest people in the World on here, I swear. Once I get my feet off the ground,job or career wise I will most definitely have a giveaway...can't wait!
