Rewind…..

….to before vacation.  It always happens when you LEAST need to be spending money.  Finding something that you just HAVE to have.  Okay, okay…..not HAVE but WANT to have. 

“Don’t spend  any money!”  Hubby said.  “We’re saving for vacation.”  That means no magazines, new books, clothes, craft supplies.  For SURE don’t go anywhere near Target.  I’m such a spending addict.  It doesn’t have to be much, even new lipstick fills the void (temporarily.)

But….there she was………………….

177

In all of her vintage goodness.  Just teasing and beckoning.  I tried to resist.  Really I did!  Promise!  Pinky swear!  I walked by her several times.  Trying to talk myself out of buying her. 

Then I began imagining what she could look like.

Maybe a few of my fav. posies.

182

Some paper pretties.

180

A bit of vintage lace.

181

That did it.  I caved.

183

My new baby.  I love you sooo.

But you need a hat I think.

184

Sorry sweetie.  Give it up!

185

Ahhhhhh……..that’s better!

Come on Willow.  You’re never impressed with anything I do!  The least you could do is pose pretty like some of the other blog kitties.  Ungrateful little fur baby!

Enjoy what’s left of your weekend.

  1. Oh Denise, I'm in love with her. I would have given up my vacation money for her too!!!
    I wish that I could find one. I'm looking but no luck. Went to a church sale and as I was going in the door a man walked out the door carrying the most lovely vintage mannequin ever! I thought about tracking him down! LOL

    Love how you prettied her up.

    hugs

    Oh, yes, she's sweet! I'd like to have one in every room of my house. I've got a whole family in my studio. :0)

    I love her! I do....

    Let's see...do you know Claudia at Mockingbird Hill Cottage? I was looking through my new issue of Romantic Homes this afternoon and found that she's been featured in their "Setting Your Sites" section..it's so cool to see our blog neighbors being published.

    Happy Day,
    Stephanie ♥

  10. Well, that's just something you can't say no to. I did the same thing a few months back too. You know, it's way too good to pass! She's beautiful and so is Willow!

  11. Willows a good blog kitty.....you need to show her off more. I melt when I see a kitty in a post....what can I say?

    Love your new baby too and it would have been a sin if you let her get away! You dressed her up all pretty for us too!
    Happy to have you back home.

  12. I can see why you HAD to get her!
    maybe you could just explain it was more of an adoption than a random purchase?

  13. I have been looking for a vintage dress form for ages and still haven't found one. I wouldn't have even hesitated on that one. Good for you...she's gorgeous! (*_*)

  15. You can certainly be excused for your purchase, she's beautiful! And remember - Willow is a CAT, whatever a cat does is cute!
