Etta the Meerkat arrived here in rural Eastern NC all the way from England, and her creator Heather of Niftyknits! What a sweet little kat she is! After unpacking, we set off on a geeky fun adventure together: a trip to explore some of the sharks teeth that our area is internationally known for, at the Aurora Fossil Museum!
As you can see, Etta was in awe of this Great Whi
te replica and all the fossil sharks teeth!Later, back at my house, Etta had a tour of our 75 acre property. My husband Howard is a ham radio operator and she was intrigued by the four huge radio towers in our fields. All of a sudden, Etta was gone! I guess her taste for adventure got the best of her, as I spotted her climbing the 130 footer! Bad Etta! By the time I got there, she was hanging on for dear life!
Luckily she managed to pull herself up and climb down
with no harm done... what a girl! Happily, we went on to safer pursuits.
I think Etta enjoyed seeing the gourd art from my Midnightcoiler shop, and some of my gourd harvest. She told me the egg gourds were her favorites! Tomorrow my little Meerkat friend leaves for her next stop. I'll always remember Etta and what a good time we had together! To see more of Nifty's fabulous Meerkats, check out her shop, NiftyKnits. Read her Blog and join the Meerkat World Tour Fan Page on Facebook to follow all of Etta's adventures, as well as her sibling, Treasure, who is also traveling the world!

Oh my goodness! I knew meerkats liked climbing to get to a good look-out, but that mast looks very very scary!
What fun! Good luck on your next adventure, Etta!
Oh my those fossil shark teeth are bigger than little Etta; and what a head for heights. She is a brave and daring young meerkat. Looks as though you all had fun on her first stop. Will keep watching to see where she lands next.
such a fun trip!
What a great adventure little Etta seems to be having and how fun those sharks teeth are.
Love the shot of all those egg gourds too!
So nice to see Etta has arrived in the USA safely!! Looks like she is well on her way to a great time!!!
Glad she got to visit a museum while she was here...what is an adventure without a little knowledge seeking? Glad she made it here safely!
Fun adventure!
Glad to hear she arrived safely, and had some cultural experiment as well as fun up there! Great story!

Looks like Etta had a great visit in North Carolina! What fun to take her to the museum to see all of the fossils. Can't wait to have her brother visit my part of the world.
I like the way she looks with all of your gourds and art.
How fabulous!! Etta is just adorable, and looks like you have treated her to a wonderful time in NC.
She sure seemed to enjoy the sharks! Very cool, Lynn!
WOW Etta looks like you gave Lynn quite a scare!
I'm happy you had so much fun and can't wait for you to arrive in NH to visit me and my family!
Love the egg gourds with Etta great shots and wonderful story!
