The best ping pong balls are made of celluloid because of its flexibility and bouncing properties. These are great bouncers - made for the carnival trade for fairway games.
We love them because they are lightweight and fantastic for making ornaments. We have been able to punch holes in them with an ice pick, but a non-electric hand drill works nicely, too.
If all else fails, bounce one or two in the bathtub for your kitty cat.
Balls arrive in packages of 3. Five balls pictured for illustration only.

Hand-Made Tin Jaguar Ornament
More Ornaments
The jaguar is prominent in most Mesoamerican civilizations, primarily represented as a god. The jaguar is the largest of American cats and is efficient and aggressive when stalking prey. The spotted coat helps the jaguar blend in with the jungle. One of the few cats tolerant of water, s/he hunts equally well throughout all terrains.
The jaguar is often associated as a protector for those shifting between worlds: the physical and spiritual.
The ornament is embossed and hand-cut, then tinted by hand, so each is slightly different than the next. Each ornament measures approximately 5 inches from toe to toe and 2-1/2 inches high.
This nice tin ornament has been created by Mexican artisans in the old tradition and then hand painted or adorned. The tin is embossed and debossed for effect and this helps to make him appear as though he is running gracefully.
Colors may vary.

We were talked into buying these magnets several years ago by an over-anxious sales rep. And, we just can't believe that we succumbed! We love kitties and would NEVER, EVER consider any of these techniques for kitties, cats or anyone else.
But, these magnets are laughable - to some folks that is! Someone recently asked where they could find these, so we thought we should finally just say, Ok, so here they are!
This heavy duty set of magnets is sure to get house guests laughing - or crying! The Goodbye Kitty Magnet Set is a set of 5 magnets illustrating five different tragic ways a cartoon kitty can die in the house.
Maybe we can use these as a safety reminder!

Silvery Rescued Charm with Kitty-Cat Accent
More Charms
More Cats & Kittens
There are so very many ways to find a pet. But what we love most is when our pets rescue us. There are rescue groups for just about every animal. And there are so very many stray cats! But, we believe that the cats rescue us - not the other way around.
Omar, our dearest cat boy, is no longer with us. He rescued us over 13 years ago. He was about 3 then. He was diabetic for 9 years! Imagine - quite the cat record! The day after we lost him, he sent us Gypsy, a lovely lady calico whom we thought was feral, taunting the dogs in the neighborhood. Alas, we discovered that she was abandoned. Now she owns the dogs and us!
This charm measures just a touch over 3/4 inch in diameter and features a nice sized hole at the top for attaching to just about anything - from a collar, to a bracelet, a cell phone or even a zipper.
We love the simple kitty drawing at the bottom of the charm. Please support your animal shelters and let a lovely feline adopt you!

And, the inside greeting is so poetically fun and to the point:

Save a Stray - Adopt Today Silvery Charm
Save a Stray Charm
Best Friends Animal Society in Utah has a campaign against puppies. Oh, don't get them wrong, they love puppies as much as any dog lovers do. But their contention is that there are far too many stray dogs for us waiting for loving, forever homes - so why not save one for yourself. We can (almost) guarantee that you the stray will save you rather than the other way around!
Measuring 1-1/4 by 3/8 inch, it is perfect for a bracelet, but we like it even more as an extra add-on to a charm necklace celebrating animals. It is made of modern silvery pewter (containing no lead).
Get this message across - loud and clear - and let people know now much fun it is to adopt a pet - whether it be a dog, a cat, a rabbit or even a tarantula!

Shiny Copper Milagro Honoring San Martin de Porres
More Milagros, Amulets & Medals
This striking Shiny Copper Milagro features an elegant stamping of beloved San Martin de Porres. Each milagro is hand-made and is approximately 1-1/2 inches wide by a bit over 2 inches tall and features a satin ribbon at the top.
San Martin was the illegitimate son of a Spanish nobleman and young freed black slave, Anna Velasquez. Rejected by his parents, he grew up in poverty and was cared for by a surgeon-barber from whom he learned to care for the infirm.
As a youngster, he began to work for the Holy Rosary Dominican Brothers in Lima, Peru. Because of his devotion to the poor and his other good works, he changed the nature of the Priory's rules and the brothers dropped the stipulation that "no black person may be received to the holy habit or profession of our Order”. San Martin took his vows in 1603.
He is well know for his creation of an orphanage and children's hospital. He also established a shelter for the stray cats and dogs and nursed them back to health.
San Martin is a beloved saint throughout the Americas. His followers are from all walks of life, all financial backgrounds and all races. Many miracles have been attributed to him.
San Martin is usually pictured with a broom, showing his willingness to work hard and with a dog, cat and mouse all eating from the same bowl. His austere lifestyle is venerated by many.
He is the patron of all races and particularly of mixed-race individuals. He is also patron to the poor, to public education and health care.
These stunning milagros (miracles) make the perfect accent for art projects as well as for their intended devotion in honor of San Martin.

Pin the Tail on the Cat Game
Perfect for parties - Birthday and Hallowe'en! Cut out the nine numbered tails (one for each life) and stick a pin or add a piece of removable tape in the same end of each tail. Place the cat on a sheet hanging in a doorway or against the wall.
Give each player a tail (and be sure they remember their numbers). Blindfold each player in turn, whirl the player around once or twice.
The now-disoriented player must step forward and pin the tail in the first place s/he touches, using only ONE hand.
The winner is the player who placed the tail against the proper place (or closest to it). Be sure to have a booby prize for the one who pinned the tail the furthest away.
Designed for children, this game has proven even more fun for adults!

Twenty-six plates reprinted from a rare 1826 etched edition include "London," " A Little Boy Lost," "Holy Thursday," "The Voice of the Ancient Bard" and other immortal verse. To enhance reading, the texts of all the poems are transcribed separately, following the plates.
Dynamic designs and simplicity of language convey Blake's vision of mankind and his condemnation of a wealthy society insensitive to poverty and unhappiness. Moreover, its universal themes make Songs of Experience just as poignant and profound today. Lovers of literature and fine art will want to add this faithful, inexpensive facsimile of an immortal classic to their libraries.

Although he also excels in color, he is quite taken with Black and White and presents superb portraits and excellent print quality in this medium.
The six photographs of cats in action and play as well as in contemplative repose, represent his special sense of reality.
These faux postage stamps are beyond compare. Usually only sold in the world's best museums, SilverCrow is delighted to offer this special set of artistamps.

Poe Illustrated: Art by Doré, Dulac, Rackham and Others
More Edgar Allan Poe
In his brief and troubled life, Edgar Allan Poe (1809-49) was as haunted by tragedy and loss as he was plagued by poverty, illness and alcoholism. Poe's personal misfortunes doubtless influenced the dark romanticism of his work. Obsessed with death, decay and the madness, he created compelling narratives of characters trapped in perverse situations. The profound influence of his stories and poetry extends not only to world literature but also to the visual arts.
This outstanding collection, selected and edited by Jeff A Menges, features scores of memorable moments from Poe's writings recaptured in gripping images of eerie beauty by the author's most acclaimed interpreters.
More than 100 illustrations, reproduced in brilliant color and crisp black-and-white, include hard-to-find images from private collections as well as those from sought-after rare editions. Poe Illustrated features scenes from such popular tales as The Fall of the Hose of User, The Pit and the Pendulum, The Gold-Bug, The Black Cat and The Cask of Amontillado as well as The Bells and other poems. Spanning a fifty-year period, they range from Édouard Manet's 1875 lithographs for a French edition of The Raven to the 1935 illustrations of Arthur Rackham for The Tell-Tale Heart and other stories. Additional contributors include Arthur E Becher, W Heath Robinson, Byam Shaw and Harry Clarke, among others. The editor provides an informative overview, as well as brief introductions to each of the artists and captions for their images.
The authors start by stressing the balance of complementary opposites—left brain/right brain, challenge/comfort, practicality/the sacred—as crucial to beginning the journey. Then through guided imagery, they lead readers through subconscious realms to connect with archetypal sources of inner wisdom. This process frees the creative and healing spirit, connecting explorers with the body's instinctive intelligence, which expresses itself through the creation of art.
This wonderful softbound book measures 8-1/2 by 11 inches and has 81 pages, almost all with illustrations.

Icon Style Holy Cards - St Francis of Assisi
More Holy Cards & Trading Cards
Milagros & Medals
We were quite taken with the icon-style print of Saint Francis that was used for this very special holy card. Saint Francis lived from 1182 through 1226 and is the founder of the Franciscan Order. He is one of the most famous and beloved saints of the Catholic Church. He renounced worldly wealth, preaching the importance of simplicity and poverty based on the ideals of the Gospel. He was known for his love of nature and animals, especially birds.
These lovely holy cards are a bit lighter weight than some others we offer, but the printing is absolutely outstanding. They are a convenient size for use as gifts or bookmarks - measuring 3-1/8 by 4-5/8 inches on heavy cream-colored paper. The back is blank except for a faint colophon at the bottom, leaving plenty of room for custom imprinting with your own message, or a place to write a note to a friend.
