To want a Cath Kidston Royal Wedding t-towel when I'm a blooming Republican!

[LaurieFairyCake]

WTF, I'm such a sucker for cutesy shit.

I know. I've already asked a friend in England to buy me a china mug. For use in the office in a strictly ironic way of course. DH thinks this is hilarious, normally I side with the 18th century French peasants when it comes to royal types.

Use it to mop up spillages = Republican statement.

Problem solved.

my sister texted me to ask if i would be knitting myself the happy couple

YABU to not have provided a link. I wanna buy one see!

I love it too!

YABU as I have now decided I need one.

YABVU

this one, it's lovely

I bought the bag .

It's not for me, though, it's for my Japanese sister's birthday as she's mad for the royal family stuff.

of course it was expat

Actually, it really is. I hate bags like that, especially when they're a tenner. In the past I have bought her Cath Kidston stuff and she loves it and it gets lots of compliments, especially the gadget cases for phones and stuff.

I got my niece the key chain because she's into that shit, too.

My kids go have the washbags.

It's this one.

and of course there will be doves flying around carrying spotty bunting on the day!

yanbu to get one for your Japanese sister, they need all the Cath Kidston royal family memorabilia they can get right now.

I got her a Clothkits thing one year, seth, to sew a pastel Union Jack cushion. She loved that, too. It's easy to buy gifts for her - just go twee!

She sounds really easy to buy for expat, every shop is full of twee stuff now - I think there's more because of the recession, people need twee cheerful stuff to keep them happy. In the 80's when some were awash with cash it was all that minimalist stuff.

oh it is hideous......

Not if you're into the Royal Family and twee, Quint .

I agree, Laurie. She and her mate went mad in Edinburgh in and out of shops full of twee.

It was a good couple days out for me because I had no idea there were so many houses of twee there.

They also bought loads of wool.

She's the easiest to buy for on my gift list.

Actually, the bag just came out. It wasn't on their site a couple of days ago. I was cross because I'd seen in it the Times and knew it would be the perfect gift for her.

So I went back on the site.

Again and again.

It's not quite horrible enough for me. I like to buy the naffest tea towel I can find whenever we go somewhere with a touristy gift shop, I guess I should start branching out into state occassions too.

In fact, if DP and I ever get round to marrying, I think I might commission a tea towel for the occassion and give them to the guests as favours.

I am tempted to buy one if only to keep my mum out of my kitchen.

I have a Queen Mum 100th birthday china thimble. It's in a wee display box an all. I love it.

love Cath Kidson. So so kitch! Have the tesco bags she designed a few years ago. I don't think you can take her too seriously as her trademark is naff.

Oh, I bought a load of those Tesco bags. The Americans and Japanese loved getting those! :o

Mackerel you'd love my Dad. Some years ago I worked in Singapore, they came to visist. Mum and I were in a very very posh handbag shop in the courtyard of Raffles Hotel in comes Dad proudly clutching a 'Sights of Singapore' teatowel, loudly announcing that he planned to frame it. He did too, he's just not been allowed hang it up.
