I like what I like, I want what I want...
I woke up "busy" this morning, if you know what I mean. I gradually awoke on my own (the best kind of waking up), and my mind was whirling, thinking, planning... I have some more reports to edit/proof for the educational book/module for the publishing company, which I've mentioned before. They will have 50 edit/proof exercises in the book... so far I've contributed 43 of them, and they may want me to contribute all 50 (seems one contributor dropped out and the stuff from the other contributor is not up to 'snuff' so to speak). I'm fine with that, though surprised. This company is nationwide, even has books out in other languages, and they can't find another source? I'm flattered... don't want to be prideful though so I'll shut up now.
I was thinking about the eclectic collection of art work, "dust catchers" and the like I have around the house and what the themes are. Cats, mostly; however, I have a watercolor in the office which shows a lone little row boat tied up to the remnants of a dock, with a couple of gulls flying about, and I love it. There's a promotional poster for Marathon, Florida in the bathroom, and I love that too. I love the whimsical wind chimes on the porch (never too many friends, flowers or hats), wish I could find another one. I have a wonderful print of three very large ladies "singing" as a trio, and the angle of their faces shows mostly their mouths. It makes me smile when I look at it. There's a little wooden plaque in the kitchen with a hen painted on it, some raffia wrapped around the wire, that says, "Bless This Nest." I have a wonderful cat in a bay window portrait in oil over where the mantel will eventually be, on the fireplace. I'm blathering about this because I need your help. When hubby and I were up in Williamsburg/Norfolk Virginia this past October, we visited a general store there which had loads of interesting items. I got a Halloween spider candy dish (and those wind chimes) while there. My daughter's cat has knocked that dish off the cupboard twice, and he is now missing part of his hat and a chunk out of his "belly." I'm going to post a picture of him. The general store in Williamsburg has no internet, so I can't contact them. I would just like to buy another dish like this... even if I have to wait until closer to Halloween. I've look on eBay (best source usually), but no luck so far. It's the kind of piece that just makes you grin to look at it. Just wish you'd let me know if you happen to see one and where.
Am I completely nuts? Don't hold back.... :)
Well, I thought I'd post the picture/pictures. The insert link isn't working...
