Cath Kidston

I always envied other bloggers who blogged about their "Cath Kidston" items.

I loved this designer's fabrics...the flowers, dots and stripes...loaded with colorful roses.

It was a dream of mine to visit one of her stores while in England.

When we arrived in London I googled "Cath Kidston" to see if a store was close to our hotel.  Unfortunately one wasn't convenient to stop by without going out of our way.  I so wanted to visit one in London but hoped I would run across another one on our travels.  

While visiting the town of Chester, England and walking through the streets we walked right by one.  I was so excited I told everyone I had to go in. 

Hubby was a dream and even made some suggestions on items I could buy as souvenirs.  

My only limitation (other then the cost) was space.  Everything I purchased had to fit in my suitcase.  

So what did I buy?

How about something with a cute embroidery on it?

This is an adorable "peg bag"!

In American terms that's a "clothespin bag".

Finally I can replaced my old clothespin bag.

Hubby suggested the pillowcases.

And I loved the buttons and bought one packet of each displayed.

And I slipped in a pair of tea towels in roses and stripes.

Quite a nice selection if I do say so myself!

As I was taking this photo I realized that my Mother's wooden cane chair has a heart design on the back.

How pretty is that...and why didn't it dawn on me before?

I'll be writing more on our England/Wales/Scotland trip.

So stay tuned.

I'm dying to crochet something...anything!

I missed it so much.

I'm thinking of trying a pin cushion.

I'll have to get busy.

Bye, bye....
