House Mouse Fruit Bowl

I love grapes. Any color, any style (altho seedless is better). But I won't buy grapes from Mexico. All the food scares in recent years have made me wary of Mexican produce unless I can scrub them well. So grapes must be US grown. You also won't get me to eat a banana from anywhere. I hates them! They are kryptonite! I'd rather die of starvation!

The possibility exists that this is a newer stamp. I don't know the title or the date but it's probably not a Stampa Rosa version as those were indexed in black. So we will assume this is fairly new. But it's too cute for words. Honestly if these mice toss as well as they seem to do and mousie can catch like that, maybe they should try out for the Detroit Lions. Looks like a completed pass to me. And no interception. We need a quarterback (even if I hate football, I do feel some empathy-just not a whole lot).

ETA: This stamp is called Fruitful Day. Thanks Curt in Carmel.

PSX E712 Beautiful Cat

If only my real cats were as elusive as this rubber one. The real ones are just so whiny lately. I can understand Loki being like he is-after all he is pretty sick with cancer. But the other two just bug him and me all the time. The constant swatting and howling-all are "fixed" and none are related. And all get plenty of attention. I wish I were so lucky that someone would actually notice me. Slug boy doesn't.

I don't have a release year for this but I have seen other similar PSX cats, so maybe it was a family of cat stamps for a few years. This certainly looks real, doesn't it? And it does not have to be fed or have clean litter or shots.

Kliban Cats Eats The Mousies

This must be pretty rare as I can't even find a reference to it. I heard it was American Art Stamps but since I am not sure, I won't put my feet in red hot lava and swear to it. I dare you not to giggle and try to sing along with the tune. Told ya!!!

This stamp recently went for 84 cans of cheapo tuna on EBay. I would be happy with a couple of stamped images to color cause I can feed my whole shedding lot of beggars for less than that each month. Let me know what you know on this one, as I know there are lots more cat images by this Kliban person (male or female??).

Stampin' Up Merry Christmoose

I nearly got caught up in a bidding war on this set from Stampin' Up. It has an issue date of 2000. I have only seen this listed once before on EBay until today. So the person who kept outbidding me, got outbid at the end by someone who was not listed before in the bidders-serves the wench right. I wanted it and bid first. Glad she didn't get it.

I don't know what the original price of this was but I would take it used if need be. I just think singing mooses are funny. I wonder if they sing when we aren't looking? And what they sing? Rock, rap, naw.... I see them doing doo-wop. Shoo boop be do. Shoo boop de woo.........

PSX Large Kitty Cat

I have several small cat and dog stamps from PSX. This one, I think was about 5" x 4". Pretty huge. One auction went for over $75. Insane, right? But some ladies out there have unlimited pocketbooks. I can adopt a cat from the Humane Society for less than that and get free shots too. But this one doesn't whiny meow all night or need a litter box change.

So if you know the real name of this stamp, let me know. Anybody got old PSX catalogs out there? Last week one auctioned off for $49.99. It was no special year or anything-just a PSX catalog.

ETA-Thank you Pauline for letting me know this is called Waiting For Dinner K-2067. It was issued after 1993 but before 1999. Someday maybe I will own it-or at least some images!

Art Impressions Monkeys

I tried to bid on this one recently on eBay but the price got out of hand. The final bid was $43.00. I then saw it again with a BIN but I wasn't quick enough. I don't remember the price but it was close to this one.

Art Impressions sometimes re-releases oldie but goodie images. I can keep my not so hairy fingers cross that they do someday soon.
