Cath Kidston Bonanza!

Paid a visit to the Cath Kidston factory shop at St Neots last week.  Of course I couldn't walk away without a purchase (the prices there were a bit more realistic in my opinion)!


As soon as I saw this bag I knew it reminded me of something.


When I got  home it struck me that it wasn't unlike the little vintage paisley pattern fabric apron thingy that I found a few weeks ago.  Of course the fabric is slightly faded, but they are not dissimilar.


Then my son and daughter in law got me this Cath Kidston
"stitch!"   

book for my birthday.

I've already earmarked my first project.  I think that this little cottage is so cute!


Not sure whether to go with tapestry or try it in cross stitch.  Decisions, decisions .....!


Love, Liz

I love that red paisley. I am going to scour ebay today to see if I can get some fabric in that design.
Lovely book, I bought it too and it has sat on the bookcase waiting for me to make something!

It may well be the same print, much as I love her she does tend to nick old prints and not give credit. mmm facotry outlet shop though...
