For Show and Tell Friday this week, I’d like to introduce you to the other 20 felines at Casa Haywood.
Meet the Halloween Kitties! Aren’t they boo-tiful?
I have been collecting these cats for about 4 years now. None are antique, but most have a vintage appeal to them. This is the kitties’ first appearance as a group here in the china cabinet. Last year, they were spread throughout the house. Don’t they look all cute and chummy now that they are displayed together?
Some of them were purchased at Joann’s, and others came from discount stores and yard sales.
Someday I would like to have some authentic vintage black cats, but I’ll always enjoy these thrifty kitties, too. I’m pretty attached to them!
The felines seem comfortable among the tarnished silver and transferware plates. Sophisticated cats, they are! My crochet garland adds a vintage touch, also.
Time for me to go and start cooking for Halloween! Please visit this weekend to see some of the horrid h’ordeuvres and ghastly desserts that we’ll be serving.
I hope you’ll visit Cindy for Show and Tell Friday!
What a fun collection you have! Everything looks great!
Have a Wonderful Day!
