Ebony and Ivory

Over a decade ago, an antique shop downtown had the cutest red painted toy piano for sale.  Unfortunately, it was quite expensive, and really, did I need one more old thing in our already crowded little house?  No!




That antique shop closed it's doors a few years ago, and then re-opened in the old train depot a few blocks from our house ( how convenient for me ).  I stopped in to browse during one of my Saturday morning walks a few weeks ago, and lo and behold, there it was again!

It was already priced much lower than I remember, but with this being the slow time of year for antique sales, I made an even lower offer which the owner accepted!  We now have a new toy for me the grandbabies to play with when they visit. 






I even downloaded simple instructions on " how to play Chopsticks on the piano" for Jeremy the grandbabies.

 

WHAT, you are probably wondering, is that thing sitting on top of the piano?  It is an adorable cat/skunk? as you can read on the price tag below.





What a bargain for only $3.00!  Cat/skunk even has a bendable wire in his tail for posing.  How cute!  I've noticed all the trendy popular blogs have weekly giveaways, so I thought I would follow along and have my own giveaway starting today.  And what better prize than cat/skunk ?! 

Drum roll please.  And the winner is..............

Congratulations, Julie!  He will look SO cute on your little red wagon shelf!

Shhhh!  No talking during the test!


Pass me the crib notes please.

Less that six months ago, we had Megan's baby shower, and this past Sunday, it was Julie's turn.  We had a lovely time with Julie's good friends and family in attendance.  Lots of kiddies, too!

Quiet!  I'm talking to you!

Is that Baby Gap?

I can hardly wait to meet my cousin P baby!  I wonder if it will be a boy cousin or a girl cousin?

Que sera, sera. What will be, will be.
