Charmed, I'm Sure...

I've finally begun working on some pendants that I bought and have been in the process of making some cat charm pendant necklaces out of them. I'm quite happy with how they've been turning out considering the little amount of experience I've had working with jewelry.

Below are some photos of my latest cat charm pendant featuring two cats by my favorite Victorian cat artist, Louis Wain! The pendant has a cat on each side - one happy cat, and one grumpy cat. This necklace would make for a cool way to display the mood you're in. Wear the Happy cat side when you're feeling happy, and the other side when you're feeling grumpy. Or you can just wear it to show off your love for cats!

This was made on a 1 inch silver pendant with a glass insert that magnifies the images.
The pendant comes with a silver ball chain necklace that can be worn at any length of your preference. This pendant is purrrfect for cat lovers, as well as fans of Louis Wain alike!
This pendant can be found at my Etsy shop at:
And check back at my shop for more cute cat charm pendants in the future! These are a lot of fun to make, so I'm sure I'll be listing some other ones soon!
Happy Holidays to everyone!
Til later...
Cheers from Catland!

Give Thanks to your Cats this Thanksgiving holiday!

Let your cats in on the Thanksgiving festivities!


Any cat owner would agree to being thankful for having their cats in their lives. For this Thanksgiving, why not show your gratitude for your cats by giving them this adorable Thanksgiving themed catnip toy! Your cat will thank you in return!

The front of this catnip toy features a vintage design of a darling and playful little mouse wearing a pilgrim hat surrounded by fall leaves with a grey background - a very fun and festive design!

The front of the catnip toy says "Happy" at the top, and at the bottom it says "Thanksgiving". The "Thanksgiving" part is much more visible on the actual toy than it is in the photo.

This catnip toy measures approx. 2x3 inches (this smaller sized toy is ideal for kittens, or grown cats that prefer to bat around smaller toys) and it is completely filled with 100% organic catnip - sure to make your cat(s) purr and play with delight!
Each catnip toy I sew by hand - a lot of time, work, and love goes into these toys, but it's well worth it, I've had many happy cat customers :)
I have made these catnip toys for my own cat, Ms. Abbey, and she gives them two paws up!!
Abbey assures your cats that they will love their very own vintage inspired catnip toy!
I also sell my unique and charming handmade catnip toys at "Wigglyille Pet Boutique"
in Chicago and they are very popular there, they fly off the shelves!
However, if you don't live in Chicago, you can purchase this catnip toy, or other ones I have available now at my Etsy shop: http://www.janediamond.etsy.com

My Latest Crafty Cat Creation!



Here is my latest cat crafty creation! This is a cute and colorful handmade magnet called "Kittens Dream". It has a collage design I created with a Victorian inspired look and style to it.

The magnet is 3x3 inches in size, made on wood, but lightweight with a very strong and durable magnetic backing. (the copyright watermark is not on the actual magnet, only on the photo here)


These magnets make for a fun and easy way to display cute kitty art! This cat magnet and other goodies of mine are available now at my Etsy shop at: http://www.janediamond.etsy.com




In other news, it's been awhile since I updated my blog, I was sick with the flu, but am now getting back on my feet, and have been busy creating new items for my Etsy shop! And with the holidays fast approaching, I've also begun to make some Christmas themed creations that will be listed in my shop soon!


In the meantime, take a look at the items I have available now - my shop is purrrfect for cat lovers, and I have fun and fabulous items for you and your feline friends too!

Cheers from Catland,
