    I'm broke - but I broke down...Link to pic album thread #37 :D

    It's on layaway and I have til the end of September to pay for it.

    I have visited an ink cartridge refill place a lot in the last month. While waiting, I would wander the mall and kept going back to this one cat statue. The pic below is the actual statue - but since it's kind of light in colour, it's hard to see the expression on the face, and the details. Face on, the eyes have that 'happy closed' look, as if the kitty had just finished the best dinner in the world.

    It was on for half price....$187+. I put $20 on it. Hopefully my fortunes will improve by September - they have to.

    It's not practical...but a piece of beauty I cherish that I am gifting to myself.

    It's adorable! Layaway is a good thing, it'll make it not hurt so much to just put on a little at a time. You need to treat yourself sometimes!

    That's gorgeous! What a find, Candace. You will love that for years.

    Wow, does that ever look real! I had a cat statue that was so real looking that my cats hissed at constantly but when I got divorced, my ex sold it.

    Just pay on it a little at a time. It'll give you something to look forward to, Candace.
    Blessings,
    Mary

    Actually, Karen - it's a Sandicast type of statue - HEAVY and solid! Not EASILY breakable like a hollow one would be.

    Hence the price!

    Very cool!

    Try eBay, too, for things like that. I recently got a larger-than-life-sized Italian greyhound statue for $75 ... retail price $350.

    Actually, I wasn't looking for it - just saw it.

    And I was Googling all over the place for a pic to post here...and there were NONE on eBay!

    Mind you, there were a couple of statues of a Bengal that were just lovely, and well done!
