HELLO WORLD!

ANNE, WHAT THE HECK ARE YOUR HOURS?

Homey Studio! Complete with my cats.  I am so blessed!

Homey Studio! Complete with my cats. I am so blessed!

Just a brief glimpse of my studio,  cats and all!  I am blessed because I specialize in dried florals.  Cats are known for specializing in dried floral matter as well.  They love to eat the stuff.  I can’t tell you how many times the last 20 years people have told me that they would love to buy something but their cats would eat it!  I know this is true about the feline species!  Not mine though!  My cats arrived at my shop in a womb, a stray mother looking for a home.  I had one inside cat (in her mid-teens at the time) and had always had DOGS!  My whole life I grew up as a dog lover and nothing but.  Cats!  No way – I wanted nothing to do with them – and swore I’d never have them.  Never say never! 

Long story short – when these “kittens” were born they were welcomed into the world by a complete dog lover and so they were raised as though they were dogs.  I know nothing of raising kittens.  They are my dog-cats.  They come when they are called and have “personalities” beyond measure.  I’ve been told time and again I have the best cats.  And I do!  Best of all, they do not bother my arrangements, in fact, they are not the least bit interested in my stuff, they just want to be near me.  Just like a dog wouldn’t you say?

But I digress.  The title of this blog is “Anne, what the heck are your hours?”.  (more…)
