Hope Cat Series

I created the Hope Cat series in memory of Hope, the first rescue of Hope for Life Rescue, Inc. located in Virginia Beach, Virginia. Hope was grungy, wounded, and almost dead when Pauline and Janel found her, and moved with compassion for these abused, neglected, and discarded animals, they founded HFLR. I will donate $4 to HFLR for every purchase of a Hope Cat. Help a rescued animal, order a Hope Cat today! You can follow HFLR on Facebook!

Handmade by Me

I process U.S. domestic orders using PayPal. Shipping and Handling is a flat rate of $5.15 for your total order, and Virginia sales tax is collected from Virginia residents. Click on photos to enlarge. Each handmade item is unique and takes on its own personality, especially the whimsicals. I am developing a Historic Line to reflect those types of items found at Colonial Williamsburg. Items offered before and some current items may be phased out. Check back often or follow me on Facebook for the latest product updates.

Hope Cat Series

Taking orders for this category ~ if out of stock, email for a delivery time frame. I'll be adding more cats to this category.

Hope Cat
Hope is the first in the Hope Cat series, made of muslin, about 6 1/2 inches tall, and has a rusty bell hanging around her neck. Hope is grunged with a mixture of coffee, cinnamon, and other spices and slightly sanded to look old. I will donate $4 to HFLR for every purchase of Hope.
$7.00

Folky Cat Tuck
I used a pattern designed by Chris Williams of Walnut Ridge Primitives. Tuck is about 9 inches tall and 4.5 inches wide at the widest part (not including his tail). He is grunged with a coffee, vanilla, and cinnamon mixture, painted black, and slightly sanded to look worn. I'll fit Tuck in a small flat rate box, so he'll be snugly packed and may have a few added wrinkles when he arrives, which only adds to his old, worn charm. I will donate $4 to HFLR for each purchase Tuck.
