Window Shopping

I sometimes like to go to the etsy home page and scroll through the recently listed items, I call it 'window shopping'. One night several weeks ago this listing flashed by on the screen ... www.etsy.com/listing/54136939/needle-felted-cat-pinbroach it is a gold and white cat needle felted and made into a pin. When I saw it I at once wished she had made it into a calico, like my Patches. I thought about it for a couple of days and finally decided to ask the lady if she would consider making a calico pin. Now I wasn't thinking a custom order exactly just a generic calico would make me happy, to my surprise she asked for a photo. She did tell me she had never made a special order but she would try and if I wasn't happy I didn't have to buy it and she would then just go back to the original plan and make it generic. I sent her to this blog so she could see a photo of Patches (see August post). A few days passed and she sent me this photo back. At first I thought it was just 2 photos of Patches but then I looked closer........OOHH! MY GOSH! I LOVE IT! So of course I had to have it!
It took a few weeks for it to arrive form Eastern Europe......

This is what I found when I opened the package........

A pretty box and inside was this............

...... the back of the pin.

If you get a chance go check this ladies shop.......you won't be sorry you did! I love my pin and I love window shopping........
