Cath Kidston's Killing Me



I was so busy spending extra time with my son before he headed back to school, that I never got a chance to post yesterday.  It was a very odd feeling, I'm so accustomed to spending time with all of you. Before I get into Cath Kidston, I want to share with you these beautiful tulips I had displayed for Easter.  Something pretty to share before I show you my "attack of the birds"...



From the picture, these cupcakes really don't look so bad.  Cute little birds atop vanilla buttercream with edible grass and jelly beans.  In reality, barely a one got eaten.  I didn't even want to eat them.  Way too much going on with the cupcake and too sweet (yes, there is such a thing).  There is something about green frosting that is really unappealing as well.  I had a flash back to being a room mom in elementary school when my kids were little.  I would make all these elaborate snacks on "my day" and the children wouldn't eat them.  Simple things were best, pretzels, unadorned frosted cupcakes, gold fish crackers.  I'm a slow learner...but it sure makes for a good picture. 


On to Cath Kidston.  She's done it again.  I simply can't stand it.  Would I be a terrible Mother if I raided the college fund for Cath Kidston (don't act like you don't think about such things!)  Honestly, look at that bedding!


I'm almost speechless on this one - vinyl flooring!!!  How beautiful would this be in a bathroom?  I think I would put it in my kitchen.  Who am I fooling, I'd put it in the garage!   


Then we move on to oil cloth and cotton fabric.  Really?  I think I might have to take a moment.



There are no words coming...have I shown you my wallpaper crush?

I'm starting to think that it's best that these items are not accessible to me short of robbing a bank going back to work.  I wonder how many t-shirt quilts I would have to sell to afford all this?  A girl can dream though, can't she?


Joyfully dreaming,
