The Best Purchase I've Made...It's Not for Sale, But I Wanted to Share It

Jewelry : Vintage : Pendants : Sterling Silver : Signed

 

When I saw this vintage sterling silver cat, I knew I had seen it somewhere before. I got it home, and suddenly it hit me. Not literally. But it was like when one of those bulbs suddenly lights up in the cartoon word bubble above my head. It would typically contain a doughnut, so I knew this must be something really BIG.

I grabbed a stack of photos from one of my cabinets and started going through them, suddenly realizing what I was looking for...and since that ended in a preposition, I'll continue the sentence and end it now.

The combination pendant brooch I had just purchased looked just like my precious kitty, Spot, who was affectionately known as "Spotman". Spotman was born in 1989 and taken to the Animal Shelter in Lafayette, Indiana where he was adopted by us. My hubby and I were in graduate school at Purdue, and every time I brought up having a baby, we would some how end up with another cat. Hmmmm....

Spot was the most gentle cat ever, but he LOVED to jump! All we had to do was throw a toy into the air (like a football pass, not a pop-up) and he would leap up and catch it! Careful inspection of the upper right section of the photo will reveal a white toy mouse entering the scene, soon to be in Spotman's waiting paws.

Spotman passed away in 2005 at the age of 16. We still have another cat that we adopted from the Animal Shelter in Lafayette in 1987. Her name is Dog...affectionately known as Dog-Girl. She was born in October of 1986 and was 6 months old when we adopted her. She turned 22 this month and is currently sitting by my side.

Treasures like the one shown here is why I love having this store. They sure make life sweeter.
