Clara's Kitty Bank

The cat's out of the bag! And is now looking for loose change in the couch cushions.

Cupcakes for Clara is the crafty venture of UK based artist Laura Fairbrother. And who’s Clara you may wonder? We picture her as Laura’s muse in the form of a very funny, clever and occasionally bossy little girl who inspires Ms. Fairbrother to amazing crafty feats. We met Laura when her ingenious kitty moneybox took first place in the Best Functional Softie category of the 2007 Softie Awards (think Academy Awards for crafts). You’ll love this cuddley kitten bank constructed from wool felt, plenty of stuffing and a discretely hidden cardboard core to hold your life savings. A button and ribbon closure on the underside provides easy access to contents without harming the animal. Intricately detailed, entirely handmade, absolutely charming and packaged in a handmade cotton bag with orange twill tie. Recommended for ages 3+.
