My 16 year old son is a collector (not sure where he gets that from!). As a youngster he was always collecting something or other, be it Pokemon cards, Lego sets, MegaBloks Dragons, stamps etc. More recently, his object of interest has been the Lucky or Bekoning Cat. As he is currently in Year 12, I guess having a room full of good luck charms can’t do him any harm.
To complement his collection, I made him a coaster for his desk. I also added a Japanese coin for extra prosperity.
I haven’t been very good answering comments and emails this year – life can sometimes get in the way. If you have any questions for Sarah and I, this is your chance as we are on holidays this week. Fire away and I will do a FAQ post soon. Also if you have any suggestions for what you would like to see here – let us know.
i love the coaster and good luck for your son doing year 12
That is one very cute coaster Lisa! My kids are fascinated with these cats…there are so many of them in shops around the place. I know what you mean about life getting in the way…it’s all a bit crazy sometimes.
You can’t go wrong collecting cats!!! We do too, just that ours move!! Enjoy your holiday break Lisa.
It is always goody have luck on your side in year12.
What a fun collection! And your little mat is perfect — I’ll bet he loves it!
I love the coaster, and I love even more that you are honoring your son’s interests! Wonderful! I have always liked the idea of the prosperity cat.
This is a great collection! Love the coaster, always good to be able to make something for the boys!
I’ve never heard of the Lucky Cat…it’s a cute little thing. Collecting…you really do not know where he gets it from, Lisa??? LOL!!
