No lamps today

Audrey is just lovin' this wicker cat house since I placed it up high. It was on the floor for ages and no one bothered with it. Now, she has claimed it and I can find her there when I need her. You know, for comic relief.

I am on the hunt for new lamps for the main bedroom so I dropped in to a consignment, new and used furniture shop in our town this morning. Within minutes, I knew I would not be leaving with new lamps but I did find something very sweet that called my name. This little ceramic plaque, that can be hung on the wall, came home to live in my step-back cupboard.

It was lying in amongst a multitude of small house-hold items and it needed a home. I love the scene of the old couple spending some quiet time together with the old, faithful dog at their feet. Or wait a minute, is this a banker telling the old gal she's about to lose her home? The dog does look depressed.

See the little cupboard behind her where she keeps her jars and jugs? "Better watch out, Mr. Banker. She may start throwing them at you." Gosh, he does look smug, doesn't he?

No, by the little description at the bottom of the plaque, they are an old couple enjoying a quiet cup of tea at the end of their day.
I loved the colours and the texture and it will blend in nicely where I have placed it for now.

So, I'm still on the hunt for lamps. I wonder what I'll end up with next time? Probably not lamps.

Look at this gorgeous black beauty I am caring for today. His name is Jetta and he was once a 'throw-away' that was brought in by some kind people years ago. The ear damage is from frost-bite. He's a happy cat now. And I'm happy to know him.

I have seen no sign of the stray cat since Tuesday. He most likely lives somewhere but lacks the care that you or I would give. We watch for him but there has not even been a mark in the snow.
Such is the life of the out-door, neglected feline.
