Feline Friday - Shop Cats

Meet Jasper!
This handsome boy helped show us around the "Nelson & Taylor Interiors" shop in Weston, MO.  Weston is my favorite little town just north of Kansas City.  My daughter Kayla & I road tripped there today for the Annual Antique Show.  I can't believe I have a teenage daughter who likes to look at antiques with ME!  The show was held in the Weston Burley House ~ a 100 yr. old tobacco warehouse!  It was a really cool building (only didn't smell so good in some parts - ha).  We had a blast & saw tons of great stuff.  I almost came home with a bed but talked myself out of it ~ plus I didn't know if it would fit in the van! 

After the show we hit the shops on Main Street.  I LOVE how so many shopkeepers there bring their cats to work!  Noone seems to think anything of it.  This one (Jasper) jumped up on a display table & wound his way around GLASS items & noone gave him a second glance!  Weston is a very pet loving community ~ just another thing I love about it.  Not only is it beautiful & unique, I get to see 2 of my favorite things ~ antiques & cats!  There were actually 2 cats in this store.  The other was sleeping on the couch in the background.  Of course my daughter & I quit shopping to pet the cats & take pictures.  heehee

Happy Easter Weekend!

Little Bit O' Spring!

Small prim table in living room
Are you thinking SPRING?  I am! Seems like I just took down my Christmas decorations & rearranged the winter decor & now it's almost Spring! I don't mind winter myself though I know a lot of people are sick of it by now.  Anyway, I spent most of yesterday spreading my Springy decor around the house!  Thought I'd share a few pics of my various vignettes with you.  I LOVE that little red suitcase I found at 
Country Bumpkins, my favorite antique/primitives shop!
Entryway table
I was so excited to find this awesome entryway table!  The wood is gorgeous & it's the perfect long-skinny size for the space.  It's flanked by 2 cute red antique chairs. Got all 3 at Country Bumpkins!
Old antique chest by the stairs
I just love birds & flowers!  I got the cute plate from Pier One last year. It comes in other colors too!
Bakers Rack by the kitchen
The bakers rack tends to be where all the leftover stuff goes but I try to pull it all together with a theme depending on the season.  The wooden box was made by my DAD who passed away 7 years ago.  I keep momentos & keepsakes of him inside.  Do you see my motto on the wall at the top? 
"One day at a time." I live by it!

Anyway ~ here's a little bit of Spring from me to you!
Have a wonderful week!
