Spotted! Holt-Howard Cozy Kitten Letter & Pen Holder

    Today's posts are about whimsical cat figurines by Holt-Howard.
    Holt-Howard was founded in 1948. From the start the items that they produced were fun and amusing. Their most popular line was Pixieware. Which featured pixie heads on various different kitchen items.

    The current bid on this letter holder is $9.99 and there are 5 days left on it's sale.
