My family know how much I love old china and dishes with lids are my favorite. This one was found in a local antique shop. On the bottom is stamped J.M. & Company Ironstone
Isn't she lovely?
Isn't she wonderful?
Isn't she precious?
Probably 100 years old.
The ladle
Doesn't match..I know. Very strange. I love it anyway but I might paint it.
and speaking of old...well, how about seasoned, that's a nicer word
here's Cali
(in her 19th year)
enjoying the morning sun and showing off her white knee sock. It will be too hot for the cats very soon and they will be sleeping in the shade all afternoon.
Inside the house, I've been having a conversation with the monkey while I relax with some coffee before starting a busy day. I'm giving her the low-down on what NOT to do while I'm away from the house.
She gave me her full attention. I told her the retired-guy would be in charge today. She doesn't care.
I'm pretty sure I heard a "Pfffffffffft" when leaving the room. Better warn him and fill up the glue-gun. :(
Have a great day and stay cool. I am off to care for a brown tabby, orange tabby, orange and white, 3 greys, a cream coloured pretty boy, a torti and a gorgeous white. The cat-bag is full and so is the gas tank.
If you are in the area and would like to adopt a cat or dog please take a look at the website of the
Lanark Animal Shelter in Smiths Falls http://www.lanarkanimals.ca/. They have many beautiful, socialized cats and kittens up for adoption.
