This little ceramic kitty cat sat on my Granny's window sill in her kitchen for as long as I can remember. Granny loved gum. And I guess she conserved and made it stretch as long as she could. When she passed, I brought home a few things that reminded me of her including this little kitty. But I wasn't too fond of the mustard yellow and orange combo, so I recently decided to paint him.
He's now perfect for holding my rings! I put him in my master bathroom.
I am considering adding a word to his belly where it used to say "Gum". What do y'all think? Rings? Trinkets? Maybe something in French, or maybe Italian? Or should I leave the little guy alone?

What a special little keepsake, I've never seen anything like that before! I think I would leave it just like it is, good job!
Granny would love it!
awww, I love it.
something so sweet to remind you of your Grandmother.
Great idea. Way to reuse and repurpose!
So cute! How about "tickle me".
That's a sweet little remembrance. :)
Love a precious treasure that has so much meaning. I think you should write the word "promise" or "to hold" on the belly. Love it!!!!
Cheers~

I didn't know they ever made such a thing! Such a fun memento of your granny!
I'd be tempted to use a word that reminded me of my grannie, or perhaps "love". What a sweet way to think of her often!
Precious & I love that it was your granny's! Thanks for linking up the the POPP.
