This picture has a bittersweet story to it. Mom sells lots of purrty things with Cats on them online (http://www.friendsfurever.com/) and at Cat Shows. Even though she doesn't keep one everything she sells, she does keep a few things for herself. This is a close-up of a Birman Cat on one of the pretty Christmas sweaters she sold in 2002. She loved it and kept one since Sniffie, Ellie and Allie are all Birmans. Because she has so many cute Christmas t-shirts and sweaters and lots of Friends FurEver stock, she stored them with all of her other Christmas things in a climate controlled warehouse. July of 2007 there was a terrible fire in the warehouse and she lost everything. Mom had a ton of very special Cat Christmas things and many Christmas ornaments that were her Mom and Grandmoms. Everything was gone except for a couple of things.
Mom was very sad that she lost all of her precious items. A few weeks ago she was looking on Ebay and found the same sweater she had...and she won the auction. Here is a full view of it.
She was so happy when she found it! We were too 'cause we know she loved wearing it with the very special Birman cat on it!!

That is a very beautiful sweater! Mom's favorite colors are Red and Green and she loves cats, so that would be more than just a Christmas sweater for Mom!
Oh, I didn't know there was a fire. That must have been terrible. I am so glad she found another sweater because it is so pretty!
That's a beautiful sweater and I am glad you Mom was able to win it.
ps - I did that Meme last week - but thank-you for thinking of me!
oh my, that's really a tragic story. Our Mommy is always afraid of fire and double and triple checks the oven and electric devices before she leaves the house although she knows she switched off everything!
Thank you for tagging us! We have seen a lot of beans and kitties doing this meme already and thought about just tagging ourselves but didn't want to ;-)
We are so happy your mom was able to find that sweater!
You have many cutie cats here.Good thing your mom found another sweater she liked.Thanks for visiting my blog.
How terrible there was a fire! I'm really glad your mom found that sweater ...
How sad that your mom lost everything in that fire, but it's great that she was able to find the exact sweater on EBay. My mom says she has to stay away from EBay because she gets in trouble.
Ooo you tagged me--how fun--I won't be at my computer for a few days so i can't do it right away but i will play soon :)
What a neat meme. Thank you for sharing the story of your mom's sweater. I'm glad she was able to find another like it.
That's awful about the fire but how wonderful she was able to find another one of those beautiful sweaters!
That is wonderful that your mom was able to find a sweater just like it. It's really beautiful!
I so well understand your favorites here. Beautiful and cute.
oh that is so sad about your Mommas things.
And we are so happy that your Momma found it again and won it!! It really is very very pretty! :)
Just like you all :)
