Miniatures Monday: New Wire Wicker Furniture

Well, maybe not so new. I had this furniture for a while, and now that I've made new cushions, I realize what a big difference color makes. I originally had some think black print and then yellow cushions on there. The new blue fabric and lace gives it a "shabby chic" feel. This is for the stained glass house I'm turning into a garden room.



I also repainted this brown wood buffet to include in the room.

Hero Dog Better than Some Humans?

Iowa - A yellow Labrador named Reagan discovers a sealed cat food bag in the middle of the road holding a horrible secret - at least five kittens - two of which were still alive - after the bag had been partially crushed.

The dog amazingly dragged the bag home to its owner, proving that love knows no barriers, or breed - and even surpasses the cruelty of some humans.

See the Tails Inc. video about the two surviving kittens here.
