Party, Packing and a Pussy Cat

It was a 3-P weekend!

We started with the Dress Up Party, Saturday morning at Primitiques. Check out Robelyn's new hairdo and elegant vintage outfit.

I've gotta tell ya, there is nothing more heart warming than folks saying they came because others referred them. Donna from Denton came out after reading about our sale on Red Shed Antiques blog. Thanks, Valarie! A couple came after being given an invitation at the Debriz Show. Thanks Deb, Liz & Fran!

A big thanks to all the people who blogged about the party and to all the folks who came out Saturday. I can't tell you how much we enjoyed loading goodies into your cars. (less packing for us later) *smile*

My Mom and her friend, Bonnie donned some vintage aprons and necklaces. I think they enjoyed the Dress Up Day idea!

Rest assured, David took more pictures than I did. So, when he gets them uploaded, one of us will share them with you.

After the party ended, we (Robelyn, Mom, Bonnie, David and I) stripped off our vintage clothes and got busy packing boxes.

I donated to Robelyn. I donated to my Dad. By the time it was all said and done, I am donating an entire truck load to an auction. Well, I'm hoping the auction will turn into a profitable donation. *wink*

Sunday, we (my sister, David and I) spent the afternoon loading trailers.

Whew! And this was the end result...
Cleared out
My playground of almost 3 years, empty.

Since the feed store and my store have not been of any interest to the health department, it has never mattered that there were store cats and dogs that called Jack's Town & Country "home". But, with the changes that are being made, Jeannie had to make more difficult choices. Jeannie loves animals as much as I do. So, this decision was the most difficult of all. One dog and 2 cats have to find new homes immediately.

Seventeen year old, Ms. Kitty has been with Jeannie since the beginning of time. She has been an indoor cat with outdoor privileges.

Ms. Kitty believed strongly that every fabric piece that I brought into Primitiques was hers. She was very partial to this doll.

But, she wasn't too sure about Santa Claus.

This pillow was good for her.

After almost 3 years of Ms. Kitty rubbing and loving and making eye contact with David, he couldn't stand it. He volunteered to be her new Daddy.

We boxed her up and David took her home last night. This, my friends, is one lucky pussy cat! She is going to continue being spoiled & loved the rest of her live long days.

I know that there will be a very large empty space in Jack's with her gone. But, I also know that David and Ms. Kitty are going to be good for each other. They both have a lot of love to give. Thanks to Jeannie for letting David be the one.

And there you have it. Primitiques' last weekend in Jack's. It's been a fun ride. Now, for my next p...the pfuture. *giggle*

I do want to say thank you to all of you who left wonderful words of encouragement on my last post. I so much appreciate your love and support.

Happy Monday!

  1. I'm so glad Miss Kitty went home with David, I was about ready to burst into tears. Love the photo with her on the dolly!
    I know this must have been hard, but at the same time exciting to move into another chapter of Primatiques!
    xo,

  2. Oh, you warmed my heart Mindy, I love happy endings. I was reading your post thinking this poor (17 year old) kitty is now going to have to find a new home and who knows what kind of a home. David has a big heart but I'm sure you already know that.(o:
    Sorry about your move, change isn't always fun.

  3. Look at the red headed Hot Mama! Wooeeee! She cleans up right nice, don't she? :)

    Sorry that Imogene and Cooter had to miss the party. They were so upset. After listening to them gripe and complain all day, I put them to bed with a six pack of Falstaff! So sad...

    I love Ms. Kitty! So glad she will be part of your family now!

    So what are you doing? Where are you going? What are the plans? Inquiring minds want to know!!!

  5. What a wonderful post!
    I'm sure y'all had a blast, but I know how bittersweet it must have been for you.

    And Miss Kitty.....she really is one lucky feline, and David is a GOOD man for adopting this sweet girl. My husband became infinitely more attractive once he warmed up to my cat. :-)

  7. I'll be looking forward to hearing about your next adventure, Mindy! And I'm still a bit spooked by our simultaneous Scrabble posts. So spooked, in fact, that I haven't blogged since. (Okay... I'm really just lazy. ) Kristi

  9. I finally got my pictures off the card and onto the computer. I hope to process them tonight if Ms. Kitty doesn't keep me too busy! lol She's such a sweetheart! After so many years in the same location, my home is a bit of an adjustment. She hasn't ventured out into very much of the house so far. But she is eating, drinking, using the litter box and occasionally her new bed. And she is not crying. In fact, she purrs quite a bit, which I take as a good sign. We're going to get along just fine!

  10. I loved Bonnie and your Mom!!! I had so much fun packing and laughing along at Bonnie's wise-cracks!

    Ms. Kitty is going to be one spoiled kitty... this is a fact...

    I can't wait to see what the future holds for you - it will be grand!!! I know this.

    Now - I'm going to stretch my neck out.
