New store for Kitty lovers



http://www.zazzle.com/sugarplumthecat

The above beautiful card is produced by an artist friend of mine, Lynette Cook. She has been an angel to volunteer with a local animal shelter, taking care of, and also adopting, needful kitties. I don't know how she does it. I love them so much that I would bring them all home with me, so I have to stay away. To be able to give her time and love to them is so kind and caring.

She recently opened the above store and sells a number of cards of her kitty artworks. Buying cards will donate to the shelter and help the animals there. So buy a bunch! They'd make very special Christmas cards.

Peace,
Joy

Beautiful Violin available

Isn't she a beauty? I love this violin, and have played it for years. It has a sweet, soft tone, not the loud, edgy type, and is in fabulous shape. See more pictures here:

I hate to sell he
r, but I don't play her anymore, and someone should. I recently inherited my great-great grandfather's violin, so I have taken to playing that one instead.

This beautiful full sized violin comes with a nice bow and a really cool case. It was made in the 40's. I have been playing this sweet instrument for years. The quality of this violin is excellent, and the tone rich and wonderful.

The wood is dark and beautiful with a very pretty back. The bow is in good condition and the case is a cool leather look, like alligator. This is an excellent value. I will include the chinrest and shoulder rest and rosin.

This is a beautiful gem that will brighten your home as much as it has mine.

Antonius Stradivarius Cremonensis
Faciebat Anno 1731
, which means it's a Strad copy, based on a 1731 piece.

Write me if you're interested. She really is quite beautiful.

Peace,
Joy
