Viva Il Papa!


Paxton Gate! When in San Francisco a few weeks ago, I took time to visit their wonderful shop.


I have wanted a Jeanie M  taxidermied mouse for over a year.....now was my chance to take one home...


After gathering up some porcupine quills, I went to the glass case and decided on the Papal Mouse....my home has a lot of Italian influence and he seemed to speak to me...


Due to their fragile nature, (and , the fact I own cats!) I bought a glass cloche to keep Il Papa safe..


Paxton Gate is a shop of curiosities, garden plants and quirky collectibles..


The outside of the shop is just as interesting...monkeys abound in the painted vinery.


If a Hamlet mouse or a Bride and Groom mouse set are still not enough for you, how about medieval armour for your mouse?

This might have to be my next quest!
