Do Want This Folk Painting Of A Sleeping Cat

• A Cat's Dream: Waiting for the Right Moment to Pounce.
• Unsigned. Oil on canvas 18" x 20" in a molded bird's-eye maple frame.
• Condition: Relined, scattered retouch.
• Estimate $6,000-8,000.

This painting is the best. Coming up at Skinner. I wonder if cats really have dreams like this?They probably do. This would be a nightmare for me because of the mice but a pleasant dream for this tabby.

Looks like a good sale. Skinner always puts together wonderful things to attract dealers and collectors alike. I once sold an early paint-decorated tall clock there. Are you going? Will you bid online?

Chai Latte Made In A Slow Cooker

I thought this looked interesting. I've never heard of ground vanilla powder but must look for some. I do love a good cup of chai. This recipe is in the current edition of Nesting Newbies. Scroll down a bit for the link. I posted about it yesterday. I never would have thought of making chai in my crockpot. You could use soymilk too. That's what I always use.

Delightful Country Kitchen

Simplicity personified. I love everything about this photo. The sink, the curtain beneath it, the plate rack, the broom, the exterior shutters, the wire basket, the bananas hanging in the window, the bare floor ...wish I could see more.

Remembering Spring

Webster thinks he can remember the time before snow. Pretty soon I'll be able to snap more pictures of the Wonder Dog looking out his favorite window. Did you know he has a fan club? People are always asking for more images of this handsome fellow. He sends his best regards.

I love everything in this picture. The librarian glasses, the book in hand, the fair isle sweater vest, and the books in the background. A perfect composition. Have a great weekend, Rosemary.
