Otis, from Loganberry Books FB Page

Traveled to Shaker Heights, Ohio, to visit Otis at Loganberry Books.  Unfortunately, Otis was feeling under the weather, and wasn't at the bookstore that day, however...BOOKS!  Beth and I love cats, yet we love books too!  Funny thing; neither of us purchased a single book, but we both walked out with handfuls of greeting cards and bookmarks, most of them featuring CATS!  Then we ate at The Flying Crane, which was directly across the street, and the food was wonderful.

Flying Crane's yakisoba noodles!  YUM!

After lunch, we stopped at Eclectic Eccentric, where I found a delightful pair of earrings:

Laurel Burch!
Needs a bit of sprucing yet...

The store owner struck up a conversation, wondering aloud whether she was ready to adopt a cat. We suggested that she consider TWO cats! 😺😺

We next ventured into WOLFS, a fine art gallery and auction house.  Of course, I didn't snap any photos of items for sale.  It was like an art museum, and we looked at everything!  We also chatted with the owner, and his two puppy Sheep Dogs.  Guarding the front door, however, were these wonderful metal lions:

Reminds me of the "Dying Gaul" statue...

Big Paws!

But WAIT!

Shaker Heights was only the beginning of our travels; coming soon:

Where oh where was this image taken?

More Cute Cat Gifts!

My friend BG brought a few items that she knew I would love, when we attended the recent CPR Class for Pets.  The bag is by Laurel Burch, and look at those adorable kitties on the side!  In addition, this whimsical kitty statue is just precious.  It is not going into either my office credenza cat collection NOR my home one; this wee cutie is sitting on my bedstand!

Thank you, BG...such great stuff!

Gifts

I love this beautiful pin!  On the back, is stamped "Mariah" and Laural Burch.  It was a gift from some really cool family members, whom I do NOT see often enough.  This pin perfectly matches my eyeglasses, so I'll be wearing it often.  Thanks again, P&C!

Now, here are two gifts that I gave myself: a pajama set (super WARM!) and a pretty t-shirty top to wear to the office.  Can you tell which one is which?  No?  The Hubby noticed this apparent reproduction of patterns yesterday, as I ate breakfast in the jammies, then dressed for work.  He did a double-take, feeling certain that I was still in my sleepwear!  What can I say...I like this kind of pattern.

Cat Purse

Angel models with my new purse

Scored a brand new Laurel Burch purse at the Paws For The Cause Feral Cat Rescue fund-raising garage sale on Saturday.  Pretty cool!  We had lots of buyers, and I heard we collected some good $$ for helping kitties.  Everything on sale was donated!

Thanks to all the folks that stopped by!  Especially the mom and her daughter who purchased the cat creamer; hope your next adopted kitty comes from Paws For The Cause!
