Valentine Kittens


When my father was "courting" my mother, he gave her figurines, mostly cats. I thought it was incredibly romantic. Sigh.

As a young girl, I loved the porcelain Siamese kitten figurines. 

They were soft and sweet, with big blue eyes. 

And maybe they were even... real. ♥









Happy Valentine's Day dear friends!

    Courting? What's that? Hello DATING is barely in my vocabulary!
    It was nice to meet you in person! Now I know the face behind the blog (and book of course!).

    Ann, this is Jenny, Lucy and Sam's mom. I can hardly believe it -- you were the only one that caught the Marilyn Monroe pose! That was absolutely the intention and I think if Marilyn was alive today, even she would get a chuckle :D

    those are precious! I love the "rear end" views! I wonder if your love of cats started BEFORE the figurines or did they have something to do with it?

    I sooooo wish I had been able to meet you all in NY this past weekend, sounds like you all had a fabulous time!!

    Happy Valentine's Day My Wonderful Friend!

    How cute.

    To answer your question, there were 6 and 3 but we lost Crystal a year ago, so he's up there facing the other direction. Gracie has been good about remembering Crystal when she's made us a header.
