Mono Monday 54: China Kitten

Mono Monday: Get the 'china' with a blue willow pattern out of the cupboard, add a 'cookie' (the fluffy mouse), and set it on the dining table. Throw the cookie into the cup a couple of times and wait briefly for the kitten to appear....and JUMP! What's IN there? says Lightning  ;O)

I bought this cup at a thrift shop for very little money and I do use it. 
The Story of the Willow pattern:

Two birds flying high,
A Chinese vessel, sailing by.
A bridge with three men, sometimes four,
A willow tree, hanging o'er.
A Chinese temple, there it stands,
Built upon the river sands.
An apple tree, with apples on,
A crooked fence to end my song.

Thank you Joanne in OZ for hosting! It was fun to get back into this challenge. I participated last year, January - November. I look forward to next week.
