Description
Nobody at the farm on the edge of Saint-Léonard could say where the hat came from. One frosty morning it was simply there, perched on the head of the black cat who slept in the pumpkin patch, and the cat refused to give it back. All through October she sat on the biggest pumpkin in the field, hat tilted at a rakish angle, watching the crows with an expression of deep suspicion. The farmer’s children decided she had been promoted to witch, and they bowed politely whenever they passed with the wheelbarrow.
This box captures that self-important little guardian. The black cat, the pointed witch’s hat and the round pumpkin beneath come together in a design that is as funny as it is festive. It makes a delightful gift for someone who adores cats with attitude, for a gardener who grows pumpkins every fall, or for a child who wants a Halloween friend on the bedside table. On a mantel among dried corn and candles, it looks utterly at home.
