Daisy!




We love Daisy. We have had her for just about a year, and she is the pinnacle of kitty-ness, in my opinion. She usually does not like having her picture taken, but she wandered into my light-box while I was taking pictures of the doll you see above. I managed to capture "the Daisyface" (middle photograph), which is the face Her Nibs makes when she is displeased about something. Causes of Daisy's displeasure include: picking her up or putting her down when she's not into it; stealing the piece of tape she is straight-up trying to eat, and when we go out for dinner and a movie instead of staying home and petting her constantly.

We adopted Daisy from the lovely folks at Animal Rescue New Orleans. They can always use donations and volunteers!

Update on Etsy Boycotts

It worked! Well, sort of. There are still zillions of resellers on Etsy, but the Featured Seller who started the whole kerfluffle, Ecologica Malibu, has closed her shop. Or had it closed by Etsy--it's pretty unclear. Regretsy story here.  And there's been a little bit of improvement in the way Etsy polices resellers. Nevertheless, it's clear Etsy is going in a more commercial, corporate direction, and I'm going to be looking for somewhere else to host my shop... possibly Craft Star.

(The rose is from City Park. I really like wilting flowers.)
