Jumping On the Band Wagon

Well, I've gone and done it.

I've purchased my first 

Johanna Parker Halloween piece.

This is the Johanna Parker 

Carnival Cottage "Sassy Cat" Bowl.

HomeGoods $12.99

I'm and fan of smiling cats for Halloween

and I wanted in on the JP craze.

The YouTube channels I watch,

 (Cris the Girl, Jack Valentine, and others)

are simply gaga over all things, Johanna Parker.

I used to follow Ms. Parker's blog 

years ago when she would post often

source

about her hand made creations from all holidays. 

She would travel to and sell at

Holiday art shows and trunk shows.

source

I think she bases her cat creations on

her black cat, Jack.

source

I can see the resemblance.

I had my hands on her cat mug at HomeGoods once,

but made the mistake of sitting it back on the shelf

to "Think About It", it wasn't there when I went back.

and I haven't seen one since.

source

I thought it would be neat to own since she did a tutorial post on how it was created.

source

From concept sketch to finish product.

source

Maybe I'll have better luck next year.

source

I remember when I got on the 

Debbie Mumm Band wagon.

It resulted in this cute 

little monster mug.

Debbie Mumm offered a wide range 

of Halloween collectables 

a few years ago.

source

I really loved her pumpkin cookie jar,

but never managed to get one.

source

Her style has a real quilt like quality to it.

She even offered a pretty cool 

haunted house cookie jar, circa 1998.

source

On second thought, maybe it's time 

for me to climb back on the 

Debbie Mumm band wagon.

It's time my mug had a family reunion. 

Thanks for stopping by

and Happy Haunting!
