Home you come

No...it's not a cat. While fumbling through old towels for the cat sanctuary, I noticed a blue & white saucer sitting alone on the next shelf at the local thrift store.There was no tea-cup to accompany it but it was so pretty and it,  too, came home with me.
I loved the long path to the house, surrounded by trees and mountains.

How can you  walk past a homeless little treasure like this when it has travelled all the way from England?

The lady manning the shop said to me "I'm afraid there is no cup with this." I told her that was fine as I liked to mix and match my tea-cups and saucers. I had many cups that would look just fine with it.
She looked at me rather oddly. She actually shook her head. I guess some people just wouldn't do that. I thought to myself, "Oh lady...have some fun."
So it has a new home amongst all my other blue and white saucers and it looks just fine here.

It feels right at home  and I will use it with many of the blue and white transfer-ware tea-cups.

You know I always have company in the dining-room, right?

There's Annie patiently waiting for the sun to appear.

I hope to someday have enough mis-matched blue and white to set a whole table. I only started collecting this combination a few months back.

The linen used here was a gorgeous gift from Jane (a fellow Canadian) at http://swiftsuresongbird.blogspot.ca/. She has some beautiful cats for you to meet. 

I expect the lady at the thrift store would not like this but I sure do.

"Oh, who do we have here?"

"Excuse me....my tummy is rumblin'"

Oh, it looks like I have more company. She rubs her head against my hand when her tummy starts rumblin'. Best go and feed her before she starts throwing things.

Btw...it's almost open.

It is raining here today and very cold and damp. Poor Audrey loves the windows open so she can listen to the Canada Geese fly over but it's too cold today. So.....I built her a fort in the office.

The idea came to me from The Cat Guy who you must drop over to visit. He has some beauties and loves to think of ways to keep them happy. Thanks for the idea, http://www.fourwhitepaws.net/

So grab a tea and visit these two fun-filled blogs.

I'll be joining Tea-time Tuesday at  http://sandimyyellowdoor.blogspot.ca/, Blue Monday at http://smilingsally.blogspot.ca/ & Tweak it Tuesday at http://www.cozylittlehouse.com/
