Shortly after my Cath Kidston post, my friend Aunt Spicy told me she was off to the UK that month and offered to pick-up stuff if I wanted to make an order. Did i! A short time ago my highly-anticipated parcel arrived. So, forgive me for being indulgent, but I thought I'd have a little show and tell of the contents.
In a cathedral no less. Read here.
Thanks again, Aunt Spicy!
the latest catalog/magazine also just showed up in my post box.
You can get your own free copy here.
And in other news, we are picking up steam on other home improvement projects. My good husband put together storage room shelves for me this past weekend. Hooray! And I took on painting a china hutch that I was debating throwing away. Quite pleased with the outcome, if I do say so myself. Pictures to come. Part of this momentum is coming because we are having my family for Thanksgiving at our house! Nothing like a good deadline to get your rear in gear!
Have a happy week ahead!

Gosh, I so wish I had bought myself that little jug, it is so cute! Glad it made it to you safely and you like it...next time I will toss in some Hobb Nobbs for good measure!

Wow...does that little jug and dish match the fabric on that lovely bag? That's really neat that you can get a kit with the works! Can't wait to see it finished.<br /><br />I can't believe that Thanksgiving is next week...I need to start baking!!

Ooooh! I saw those cute ladybug Tesco bags when I was there last month and had a fleeting thought they'd make excellent gifties. Forgot to buy 'em!<br /><br /><br />PS: Next time I head to the UK, I'm picking your brain on where to's and what's!!
Kate
