These ancient Goddess statues are from Kazakhstan. Not too long ago, I watched an episode of Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern: Kazakhstan. So when I saw these, I was happy to know where they were from. Aren’t they beautiful? ❤

Painted faience sculpture of a tattooed woman or a priestess of Hathor. Egypt. 1850-1640 BC. I love faience🌹 Her tattoos remind me a whole lot of my own. My favorite possibility of what her body markings mean: Protection for a healthy womb and healthy pregnancy. As her belly grows, the tattoos stretches across the abdomen like a net or barrier over the baby... Thus, protecting the baby.

This cat loves sitting on my back porch. I want to bring her in. She, or he, even likes walking across our living room window sill. So, you just see this shadow figure of a cat standing in the window. I truly appreciate it. ❤
