SHOW & TELL

FRIDAY FEAST below


Host of this meme is Kelly

When you come into my house the first thing you will see is this glass vitrine where some of the small cat items are shown. They are coming from different countries all over the world. My friends use to buy them when they go travelling or when they find a special cat somewhere.





These little chinese once are very special, they are of porcelain and are very old probably beginning 20th century. I got them from a neighbor whose nephew was working in China in 1919.



See the one on the toilet covered with the bandages ? My son bought it for me when I was sick !
The little cats out of glass came from Venice (Italy)

  3. That is amazing...but, all I can think of right now is "keeping that clean"....what a job of work that would be.

  7. Your collection really IS amazing! I'm not sure I would have been able to keep it going for so many years as you have! I have collected many things in my time - but I always get bored with them and get rid of them before they get anywhere NEAR the size of your collection!!! Right now I'm in the process of getting rid of ALL collections... I'm sick of clutter!
