A Primitive Cat Cushion (pillow) I fashioned after an early 1900s pillow as shown in the book "Seasons" which was in the home of Messrs. Cramer and Johnson's Seven Gates Farm in Maryland.  

Made of woven wool with embroidery floss embellishment, the cushion/pillow measures 17" across from left to tip of ear and 12" top to bottom from tip of ear to tail.

This could be used as a Halloween decoration or all year round.  $45 plus shipping. 

Belle LaGhosta  is 34" and can hang or sit.  She can be used as a decoration from before Thanksgiving thru Halloween since she has a Pilgrim look as well as friendly Witch.  Although it is hard to see, she is holding a very small Indian Corn on her left and a hang tag which has a copy of a vintage photo of two girls having a tea party with jack-O-lanterns.

Belle's bodice is painted on, her nose is appliqué, lips have been primitive stitched on, eyes are buttons and hair is jute.  $55 plus shipping
