Happy Friday, my lovelies. No, I didn’t break my arm. I’m talking about my waving cat.
I got him in the airport in Shanghai in 2006, on my way home from the two-week trip I took to China with my college marching band. He doesn’t actually wave. Never has, even with the proper batteries and the switch flipped. Maybe he got damaged spending 14 hours in a carry-on, or maybe they sold me a broken cat; I have no idea. But I love him anyway. Even though I could probably go to Canal Street and get the exact same cat with functioning appendages, I won’t. Because it wouldn’t be the same.
What’s your favorite souvenir?

I love those waving cat statues!
I picked up a small statue of a Chinese-style dragon when I was in China. I love it because I don’t see that sort of thing a lot around where I live, and I adore dragons. So…it was well worth it.
I have a rosary that my uncle brought me back from Rome. I keep it in my purse. Other than that, I just have a lot of photos.
I have a couple of favorite souvenirs. One is a statue I bought on the street in Rome. The other is a puzzle box I purchased in Romania.
