Another purchase!

I'm afraid that I ordered some more items from my new favourite Butler & Wilson recently but at least they weren't all earrings! Featruing today is a rather splendid cat brooch.  I seem to be obsessed with using the PS Elements Poster filter to make up for the lack of sharpness in my pics and today is no exception. Apologies to Ilja for completely failing to follow the theme today but frankly it is all I can do to set up a photo!
In other news: I braved the outside world today with a short cold and very slow walk around our donkey patch, thanks to my friend and neighbour M.  Afterwards we chatted over cups of tea.  There was a lot to talk about as she is the grandma  of this little girl.
