Lucky me! All lovely ladies (and Gents) with beautiful wares!

So what did I get… Here you go…

My first hooked piece. And this was an amazing deal… marked down at the end of the day. About 1.5 x 2 foot or so. $25.00. I could not more pleased! YAY!

Tuesday Display Chain ~ "Framed In"



The theme for Misi’s Display chain this week is “Framed In” and we were left to interpret it however we wished. I had a ton of clever, artsy ideas but in the end I decided to go with the literal interpretation and show you all the framed art in Primcats House. Not surprisingly 99% of it is of primcats.

Here we go…

Tell me she isn't the cutest thing you have ever seen? You can't. Because she is. :)
