Mark & I went to Leamington Spa on Monday as he needed some wood glue and the only shop that sold the brand he was looking for was there. I had a bout of car-sickness but after we walked around in the cold & snow for a while it kind of disapated. Anyway…..On the way back from the store we passed a thrift shop (they call them charity shops here) and in the window I saw the most marvelous little cat for just £1.oo
How could I resist?
I popped into the shop–all but certain someone else was going to come along and snatch it out of my grasp! (I sound like a nut, don’t I?) :whistle:
Anyway here are a few quick pics: Classic Egyptian-esque cat
The cat appears to be made out of cast bronze (or maybe copper coated bronze?) and pretty heavy. It’d got some wear & tear on it but over all I think it was a fantastic find & will end up in someone’s office or home in The Quinlan Chronicles.
I just had to share!!!

Congratulations on your cat find!
It’s adorable. Looking forward to seeing it in your Quinlan Chronicles.
What a great find! Love the candles and the candle holder too — that room looks life-sized.
D7anaThanks!
Sheila thank you! I’m practicing making the candles –I’m hoping tp out those on etsy soon (and I’m really working to get my living-room set to look real so thanks for the awesome compliment!!) :biggrin:
Wow, great find, congrats! I’m sure it will work wonderfully as a backround detail or even as a plot mover (mysterious object?).
Very nice find
Reminds me definitely of the many forms of Bastet statues.
I have a lousy plastic one I need to repaint myself.
Again, good find
Ursula Thanks! I know I was (and still am) trilled with it. It makes me think of the small ones I saw years ago when I went to the british museum. (I didn’t have the funds then) and now this is like extra special to me! :biggrin: I’m not sure where it will end up in the chronicles but expect to see it eventually!
WillYep, definitely a homage to Bast. Even lousy plastic can be repainted to look good so please share it on your blog when you get around to it! I have a couple of plastic ones that I got from Yujin capsules and they’re awesome too (except for the seam lines)
