Finds of the Week

On Wednesday my friend Brady and I went to goodwill to check out what they had for cat related things (well, he went to look at cloths and other crap). While there I found a few wooden cats similar to the one that guards my bathroom (I'll post pics of it later) as well as some intricate ceramic items. Unfortunately they were not that appealing to my taste and/or unrealistically out of my price range. However, I did find another great coffee cup as well as a cute little wooden figurine and a wooden hanging decoration.

Here is the coffee cup of the cat stalking its fellow housemate. Or perhaps he/she is rather watching it, captivated my its flowing motion. My friends mother would call their fish tank the cat television because she would just sit and them for hours. George would probably just eat the fish if we had one. A midnight meal.

I have seen little figurines like this one around all over the place, but they are usually gnomes or bears. I have very happy to find on of a cat. I really enjoy its company as it sits on the desk next to my computer. Complacent. Somewhat startled? What do you think?

I really like this hanging decoration. The first thing that comes to mind when trying to describe it is an oriental wooden wind chime. I love how the colors and spotting on it resemble that of a rainbow trout, or some sort of psychedelic leopard. It is proudly hanging on our front porch.

And that is it for now. I am planning on riding around South East Portland looking for free boxes and taking pictures of neighborhood cats once the weather is nice. If anyone wants to join me, let me know.  Also if you want to show off your cat, send me a picture and I'll post it. Have a good memorial day everyone.
