Smiling Cats from my French cartonnage collection

This is one of the latest creations from my French cartonnage hobby which I haven't published on this blog so far.... It's made of cardboard & acid free Florentine paper (Smiling Cats) with a note pad..... Ideal for your working table or phone corner....

I had a half strand of coin pearls left and thought of adding some nice red garnet with them to give this classic chic necklace....
