Combine lilacs (one of my favorites!) with some cute animals in a vintage print and you have my vintage thingie. 
I found this nicely framed Currier and Ives print “Two Little Fraid Cats” in the bottom of an old trunk that was given to me by a friend. It was in great shape except for a little cleaning up. Now it’s in my bedroom and I look at it every morning when I wake up. It never fails to make me smile.

That is a great old print. Glad to see you using it and taking care of it. Very nicely done.

That print makes me smile too! Imagine, kitties being afraid of a little mouse! It would instantly put anyone in a good mood, I would think!
Happy VTT!

Hi Teresa~~ And not just in a good mood. The message seems life inspiring too. Like “Why be afraid of something that is so small?”

Hi Teresa!
I love the Currier and Ives print. It made me smile. I have seen that expression on my sister’s cat…most of the time.
What a wonderful find!
Thanks for visiting with me today. I am so glad to “meet” you.

Normally I don’t like ‘cutesie’ things, but that print is wonderful! It manages to avoid the saccharine and makes me smile too!

I too love lilacs – - – have so many lilac stories in my head which all come rushing back when I see/smell that favorite flower.
I love the way you end your posts with a quote – - – you must have QUITE a collection of quotes to be able to do this!

Oh but I love the piggy!
Your picture looks like a wonderful thing to wake up to. Kitties and flowers, what could be grander?

The print is really nice, and of course that adorable pig is just too cute!
Have a great VTT and a wonderful holiday week ahead!

Those ‘fraid cats remind me of my big white girl cat. But she’s not afraid of anything. Adorable print.

That would make ya smile to wake up to each day. I just saw that there was a mouse scaring them. LOL Too cute.

i cracked up when i spotted the mouse. i kind of wish my cats were afraid of mice… i really don’t like the “gifts” they bring from time to time.
