cats :: around our home

It's no secret that I love cats. Luckily Ivan loves them too and doesn't mind having cat related decor all over our home. What a great husband I have! Here are a just a few of the cat things you will see around our house.
I love our dreamcats calendar from Fieldguided. If you want one for yourself they are on sale now! Note to self...wait until the new year starts before buying a calendar.
These little guys are part of one of my favourite displays so far in the living room. They are on a white table with other white things and a blue typewriter. Ivan also loves this little corner and doesn't want me to put pictures on the wall near it because he thinks it is perfect already :)
Adorable little kitties (a housewarming gift from awesome friends) sitting near our front door guarding one of my favourite vintage cameras.
Guitar and piano playing cat prints from boygirlparty.
These cute kitties were my most recent find. I filled our hutch with cameras, dolls, radios and cats and said to Ivan that this camera needed something tall on each side of it. The next day I found these tall cats!
I love this cat's little face and lifted paw! He used to be in my office but I like him better beside the globe.
And of course, my favourite cats around our home. These guys move all over the place and are definitely the cutest. and while we are talking about cute...
Hehe! I love that Farva lets us look at his little teeth. He's a pretty good sport.

I definitely have more kitty things that this but I will save some for another time! Do you have a collection that you spread out all over your house?

  7. Amber, he brownie actually came with film in it and I believe it does work. I haven't tried it out though. The land camera belonged to my grandparents and as far as I know it works. again, haven't tried it out though.

  13. I love those prints!! I also like how the figurine next to the globe looks all "Vanna White" like it's gesturing to some country or something.
