And I've been running my own one woman sweatshop trying to get ready for next month's pop-up market, so basically I have sucked at blogging. I really wanted to change that, but didn't want to just keep posting photos of my works in progress (as much as I love them!). So I decided that featuring some of my favorite cat decor items would be a welcome change. Hopefully you will agree!
I must admit that in preparing this blog post, I had a really tough time narrowing down which items I actually wanted to feature. Don't get me wrong, I did consider picture-spamming the heck out of this post just to show off my kitty collection, but a top 3 is probably much more tolerable. Less is more, yes? And if you enjoy this post, then at least I will have more goodies to show off in the future rather than spoil them all in one obnoxious post.
Without further ado, here are some of the fancy cats (besides Prince Roland, of course) of my household!
This Cat and Birdcage Bookend Set from Pier 1 is by far one of my favorite items. I love that it has a Victorian feel to it, and it's extremely well-made. The cat/bird combo also tickles my fancy...growing up, we had lots of pet birds and I still love them almost as much as cats. But my husband hates them, and I'm pretty sure Roland would eat a bird were there one in our house. And I love both of them much more than birds, so I'm cool settling for the inanimate version!
Here is a good story (maybe? by my standards, it's good, at least...) about these prints. First off, I recieved them sooooooo randomly. My dad renovates mobile homes, and often times, the old owners leave things they don't want rather than take them to a dumpster...and every now and again, there lies a hidden gem in the rubble. These two prints were such gems, and my dad brought them home to see if I wanted them. I have to say that usually the man doesn't choose things that match my taste, but he scored a major home run with these babies. Pretty sure he had no idea that these are totally in line with my aesthetic, either! The girl in these prints looks a lot like a Blythe doll, and I have collected those for years now. And the addition of the orange tabby makes these vintage prints almost too cute to handle. So happy to have scored these, and the way they look in my kitchen with the yellow walls reminds me a lot of my grandma (always a good thing in my book).
This silicone kitty ice tray was a Christmas gift from my sister-in-law this past year. There is nothing more whimsical than sipping (or slugging) a lovely ginger ale filled with numerous swimming kitty cats. I would also love to eventually use this tray to make molds of some sort for Lady and the Cat. Maybe wax melts or bath bombs? It would be a brand new venture for me, as I've never done anything like that, but I'm definitely into the idea. Would you buy a bag of kitty bath bombs???? Let me know in the comments!
Well, there you have it. I hope that you had fun reading this post, because it was a lot of fun to write! Don't forget to comment and/or share this post on social media if you liked it, and please let me know if you would like to see another post like this one! Thank you SO MUCH for reading, especially those of you who have stuck around despite my recent blog hiatus! I love you all to the moon and back! You're the cat's meow!
