All Kinds of Squee~

Hey'a KitKats! 

Wanted to share something way coolio!  Back in November I had an art show (as y'all know from my art blog) While I was there that day we wandered around to some of the other galleries there.  My good friend Vickie Valdez and I found a gallery that was featuring her lovely bottles.  I had purchased one of hers without knowing she was the artist!!!LOL  She makes these cool bottle vases and then makes necklaces and hangs them around the bottle.  I chose this one.  You can see why.

yes; it's a wee purse and it opens!

(I bought it immediately at that) 

I've decided 

When it's Ms. Stella's time to move on to her next journey;

some of her furs will tuck safely inside here.

While we were at that gallery they were having a silent auction

Vickie bid first on this item; then I bid.  We joked with each other about it but knew since the auction didn't officially close for awhile we were sure we'd be outbid.  And quite honestly, with her being a Vet and all I figured she'd go back discreetly without me & up her bid for it.  She never did.  The auction closed and we heard nothing. 

Then last weekend when my week coudln't have gotten any worse; I got a call from the gallery; I had won the item and sadly they had misplaced my information and only found it that day.  Four months later.  They mailed it to me and here it is. 

A Steampunk Polymer clay cat pin.  The whiskers are long and soft; not hard wire.  Since I'm a total steampunk chick this makes me squee big time!  Check out the wee flywheel on his nose!!
