martha stewart nesting bols at macy's...love the colors

how is it that mike trader keeps making his way into my world?

big, ceramic cat that i received in our lab week "white elephant" gift exchange. pretty sure this will be making its way to the mcwilliams christmas gag gift exchange...or maybe i'll just give it to amber as a door prize.
