Sleeping Beauty

1 Princesses Only

Anyone who is owned by a cat will see a few truths in this photo. First, all cats are royalty, regardless of gender. Second, if you have a rug in the home your feline friend shares with you, it will always look like the one in this photo – why bother straightening it when you know as soon as she wakes it will be scrunched and piled to her liking? And third, no matter how much money you spend on a special bed for her, she will choose her own spot to curl up for a nap.

When I saw this darling kitty from StoraxTree, I didn’t even bother to slip on a pair of shoes – I just ran directly to the pier market @ The Docks to adopt her. I even grabbed a couple of friends for her – a grey tabby and a sweet little black and white pusskin. There are two others, and although this is a no-copy item, at only 55L each, you can afford to take home more than one.

I crept in quietly, afraid to disturb these slumbering sweeties – a princess needs her rest, you know 😉

1 Sway's cottage

Just a quick post before I get busy on Saturday morning. I wanted to show you this adorable cottage by Sway’s for The Challenge. Sway Dench has created this little summerhouse and fencing set. There are nine pieces to the fence set with two versions – one designed for linking to help lower land impact. Read the notecard enclosed to get the details on how to do it.

That’s all for today…now off to fight the dust bunnies!

1 IDC Negril for The Challenge

By the time this round of The Challenge is over I think I am going to have to have some pages added to my passport. From Kentucky to Germany, on to Turkey and now Jamaica, I feel like I have completed a round-the-world trip.

Alyssa Warden of Ishtari Design Concepts had created the Negril set, complete with gazebo, furniture, plants, accessories and even a Jamaican flag fluttering gently in the breeze. This set slotted in nicely on the northern shore at home, allowing both the rising and setting sunlight to filter through, yet protecting me from the worst of the midday heat. It is a lovely spot to entertain or to just flop down for a mid-afternoon nap.

After my travels this week, I could use that nap.
