So our darling little kitty likes to climb anything and everything, and she has pretty amazing arm (leg?) strength. She likes to grab hold of the top of the window and pull herself up. It was tough to capture, but this gives you an idea. It's pretty amusing to watch.

Tim and Artie were napping a few nights ago (probably more than a week ago, actually) and the way she was stretched out at his feet was so cute. The picture of his toe curled over her paw makes me say "Awww!"

I stopped at this cool antique store that I drive by on the way to work, and I really loved the place! It used to be an old house or something, so they have it set up sort of in rooms...very well displayed. There are three floors as well. Tons of stuff I wanted to buy.

 

One thing being this really sad otter! So adorable! He'd make a great accent piece!

Also this typewriter was tempting (not that I have any desk space to put it on).

I did buy this awesome graduation certificate...for a corsetiere. Which, according to Merriam Webster is "one who makes, fits, or sells corsets, girdles, or brassieres." Awesome! I wonder what it was like to major in that?

 

Also I bought this old book. It was published in 1902, so that made it cool, but mostly I bought it because of the amazing cover.

I just thought it was funny how her body behind the shade was out of proportion, so it looks like she has a huge head on her little feet.

A recent project of mine....I'm trying to decorate on a budget...so I've been laminating leaves and putting them on our wall. I'm just doing that little bit so that it looks like they're sort of blowing around in the wind. Of course, it looks rather random, since our bedroom doesn't have a theme, or any other artwork. But the bedspread is like leaf/tree themed, and I have this great picture of a forest that I want to hang over the bed someday...soooo I guess that works. Anyway, I like the leaves, and that's what matters. I don't expect to be featured in Home & Garden or something.

Also, this project was inspired by a leaf that my dearest Sarah sent me, ages ago. It's the third leaf from the right, if you're wondering. ^_^ Thanks dollface!
