Orange Longhair Cats

I seem to have a small theme of cats going on in my store recently.  I found about 5 cat figurines in a cupboard in the spare bedroom/warehouse/office/storage, well whatever I can get to fit in there!  But NO, I am NOT a hoarder! It is inventory! :)  I don't know anything about Orange Longhair Cats.  I do love cats, but I haven't had one in years.  But the scavenger hunter's theme this week is "orange", so since I have this cat figurine I thought I might blog about it.  Well, I had no idea the history of the longhair cat was so involved!  I, myself, am not fond of cats with the mushed in faces (no offense to those that adore them, just a personal preference!) although I do think pugs and bulldogs are adorable.  Oh, I'm getting off track (dog lover, can you tell?) ... anyway, it appears the domestic longhair hails from the Persian and/or Angora or actually any mixed ancestry, you can check it all out at Wikipedia.  But the pictures of them on  are quite awesome, except for the scary little guy with the "lion cut" near the bottom of the page on the Persian longhair page.  Le Petit Marché's little orange longhair cat figurine is pretty cute, with piercing bright orange eyes.  If you have a cat lover in your family, or a lover of this breed and color then this is the item for their collection.  Christmas is sooner than you think, so start shopping now at Ecrater Stores Network !

Play Misty for Me

When I saw the theme for ESN this week was "Misty" the first thing that came to mind was "Play Misty for Me".  Do you remember that horror movie?  Starred and directed by Clint Eastwood back in 1971.  He was dreamy and had all his hair!  It also starred Jessica Walter (as the psycho stalker) and Donna Mills as Clint's girlfriend, who almost ended up a casualty when psycho Jessica comes a'callin with a butcher knife.  Clint's maid also lived, but man, was she ever brutally sliced.  Good movie for the time I thought, but I haven't seen it since then, so my opinion would perhaps change, not that I've grown up or matured much, but I still love Clint!  I don't have anything in my store that has anything to do with "misty", but I have known many people (myself included) that have had cats, and in particular, Siamese Cats named "Misty".  Maybe it's their coloring, I don't know.  But I do have a lovely set of plates, and I've decided the cats' name on them is Misty, and she's even toying with the piano on one plate perhaps trying to conjure up that Erroll Garner classic "Misty".  I don't know the song and don't even know if a piano is involved but my imagination went rampant!

Le Petit Marche has this lovely Franklin Mint Siamese Cats - Collectible 4 Plate Set available, so stop on by and have a look at them and the other collectibles I have!
