Anyone planning to head to London this summer for the Olympics? I'd love to go, but it doesn't look doable. The girls schedules, not to mention the expense, preclude it.
The next best thing, a one day sale from Ms. Cath Kidston. Enabling the purchase of a few summery goodies...
The hand embroidered Allotment Floral tote arrived and is beautifully done. Although the strap is somewhat delicate, the bag itself is impeccably constructed and very pretty.
A number of fun things in the new soft blue boating pattern were just introduced. The Boat Cool bag is just what I need for transporting picnics to the boat on sunny afternoons. The Red Wicker Basket is another winner. I've long had a thing for vintage wicker bags and totes and this one is a good size, well made, and perfectly retro.
I also picked up the Ribbon Rose Stripe Skirt. A pretty floral pattern, it's lightweight, fully lined, and has pockets. On her site they advise wearing it with a stripey shirt, I don't think that'll work for me.
Did you happen to catch the sale?

I missed it. :( I'm afraid I'm not enjoying this season's Cath offerings as much as I have previous ones, however, so I don't know that I would have gotten anything anyway. I do love that basket, though! I did manage to find some CK lotions and soaps at TJ Maxx recently, so that was a bit of luck! :)
No, I missed the sale; her things are charming.
You always find the prettiest things. My husband has been spring cleaning his boat in our garage during spring break dreaming of summer fishing trips. London does sound rather charming.
I want to go and see my beloved James Bond make his grand entrance at the ceremonies!
I love, adore, covet, that embroidered bag...so perfect!
Happy Easter......
No....I will spare you my jealousy. I missed the sale too. Must be only for the really good customers! These are gorgeous...I love that basket. I shall live through you for a little bit...smiles...Renee
I love Cath Kidston!! Love your embroidered tote, and the stripes on the wicker basket!!So sweet! xo Heather
Okay, I will confess I did a bit of shopping... two days before the sale. (Darn, I missed it!) I purchased the Hampton Rose Pumps and the English Rose Crush Mug. The mug is my new absolute favorite-- has a nice thin rim. The shoes are super fun, but their shoe sizes seem to run a bit on the snug side. I love them though!
Hugs,
Jill
What a sweet embroidered bag!! It reminds me of the way we used to embroider on denim shirts.... back in the dark ages.... when I was in college. Yup, a looooong time ago. ;-)
You made some lovely purchases, the cool bag is perfect. Even living here in the UK and 90 minutes from London we won't be venturing into the capital come Olympic games, it's going to be insane!

Love all of your darling purchases! You really have an eye for unusual and fun things. I've been reading through your backlog of posts, and I'm struck by your sense of taste, you're sense of humor, and the charm with which you live your life. It is remarkable.
Happy Easter
