Cats and Antiques

Another journal page featuring cats for

Art Journal Journey

and Rike's theme of Animals from A to Z.

The cats I used for this page were torn from a paper napkin. I did have to touch up a few areas with coloured pencils as this napkin tore very easily when it was  being stuck down onto the page.

A few stencils in the background,

 then stamped with some wild flower stamps.

 I used distress inks and oxides  as  I wanted not so bright colours today.

The quote was computer generated,

 my writing is terrible.

I will say hello to Bleubeard and Squiggles here as I am also visiting with friends over at

Bleubeard and Elizabeths 

where we are always made to feel very welcome with a drinks related post.

Today's drink comes together with a Hot Cross buttered bun.

This was our  treat  at the weekend .
We had been to  an Antiques/Retro Fair held in a school not to far away from where we live. A new venue for the organiser and they said they would be coming back later in the year, if it proved popular.

It was quite busy and not all stall holders like photos taken, but I did manage to get a few with the stall holders permission.

This was was selling all kinds of copperware. 

The weight of the copper pans  would be  far to heavy to have in my kitchen..

I did think the old leather shoes and the cuddly toys looked out of place among all the gleaming pots and pans.

Old tools and keys, hundreds of them and still the stall holder was advertising for more.

Husband was in his element, I left him chatting with the owner and had to go back and  get him moving  to see what else there was  to see at the fair.

I had to get a photo of the clock hanging over the corner of the box.
I think ,any kids would like one of these especially if they had the Hogwarts box as well.

Thank you for calling in  to see me , I hope you have a lovely day.
