Charlotte has just found out that she missed International Cat Box Day (again). Lucky for me an ebay parcel arrived today so I was able to provide a box. The day was 19th June but I've convinced Charlotte that cats can celebrate boxes all week. Thanks to Brian at http://www.brianshomeblog.com/ for alerting me to such a special day.
Sorry Charlotte that box was the best I could do at short notice, I hope you like it. Emily won't even get out of bed to have a look at the box.

| Meanwhile back to my Jubilee visit. Hamleys had a Jubilee bear for sale 35GBP and I thought it rubbish. The bear was wearing a very poorly made dress and nothing else. I bought this bear at Kensinton Palace for one third that price then crossed stitched EIIR and the years 52-12 and added a circlet of diamontes to the crown. In the background is a cushion with portraits of the Queen I bought at a souvenir shop in Picadilly Circus. |
Had to have a corgi, this one has I Love London on it's cape and I added EIIR. I think I should add the year 2012 too.

Good to see you didn't miss out on International Cat Box Day Charlotte. Looks like Emily did this year though.
ReplyDeleteNice souvenirs, and so much nicer because you have made them your own and not been ripped off by the big companies.
Hope you buy better boxes soon, Charlotte does not look at all happy. Love the bear and corgi, putting your own touches to them makes them a more special souvenir. Although maybe bear would like a box too as she looks rather upset about something.
ReplyDeleteInternational Cat Box Day - ha ha!! How cute.
ReplyDeleteCorgi? I thought it was a rabbit! I like your attention to detail, adding E11R to the capes.
Oh Charlotte, any day is a great day for a box! Hooray for boxes, and I love yours!
ReplyDeleteInternational Cat Box Day ... how interesting :-)
ReplyDeleteCharlotte is so cute, Sylvia !
Have a nice weekend,
Sylvia
It's a good thing you ordered something so that there would be a box for kitty to play in! :)

Is Charlotte screaming that you should have at least decorated the box? :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice "boxing day" for Charlotte ! It's funny that all cats in the world like boxes more than beautiful cat baskets !
ReplyDeleteThe bear and especially the little corgi are gorgeous, so cute !
Charlotte it looks like a great day to celebrate box day. Hopefully, they will get you better boxes for next year. Thanks for the share. Have a great day.
