Cath Kidston - I'm bored now. Anyone else bored?

[Cappuccino]

I got a new catalogue today and it looks exactly the same as the last one

I am finding that just looking through the catalogue itself satisfies any need in me for rose prints or little birds

You do sort of, have a point HW but I don't think that prints and retro stuff should just be chucked together to make one whole jumble. Less is more.

definitely v. ikea but i like their fabrics too. i am a textile whore.

yes i love ikea

Oh yes, I could spend all day getting tactile in a textile shop.
My budget however extends to charity shop, so charity shop it is, most of the time.

It never really appealed to me anyway. Agree it's all a bit twee.

yes naily I searched far and wide for our blinds fabric and ended up with Ikea stuff

marimekko - mmmmmmmmmmmm

the marimekko clothes are hilarious

I did once fancy the idea of one of their bags (Kidston)

but I have seen them so many times in the catalogue over and over again I am bored now

they occasionally bring out 'exciting new shapes' but it is still the same print

am afraid to say that i am totally their demographic

but have never shopped there

have had a few gifts - picnic set and china mugs - quite nice

my spotty oilcloth tablecloth is a ck copy, apparently

I think Cath Kidston et al is fine in small doses in the kitchen/laundry room.

Personally prefer Greengate these days

same tutter. i do have one duvet that i got in tk max. although i did ask dh for a nice bag for my knitting, he obviously googled 'knitting bag' and hit the jackpot at cathkidston. i love it. admittedly having matching curtains and wallpaper would take the sheen off my knitting bag somewhat.

My house is a shrine to kidston/laura ashley/charity shop junk - it just goes - small cottage

I too got the catalogue today and I like the giant bags under the sink but they are £35 so won't be buying any in a great hurry

I wish they did the clothes in bigger sizes - like an 18-20 but I think chubby are not in their demographic

lol at having curtains and matching knitting bag

so you knit? do you crochet>

omg, not another edin. mumsnetter who knits! yes i am a new convert to teh wonderful world of wool. my new years resolution is to learn to crochet by my sister nicked the book.

this is my style guru for interiors

The CK bublle burst for me when the laundry baskets I bought in their sale arrived. Badly made, mass produced tat I'm sad to say. They did refund but IMO their products are overpriced for the quality.

i dont knit

mum gave up teaching me blaming the facti was lef thanded

anywya

if you crochet i need/want a crochet beret and arm warmers

i would pay

ive hinted to pruni loads of times but she wont take the bait...

i wont be offended if you say no! knitted would do on large needles

lol, pruners is much better at knitting than i am and i haven't even started on crochet. find a pattern on line and i wll get back to you.

sniggers at arm warmers! i would love to knit some but what on earth do you do with them? why can you just wear a cardi?

you should try again i was amazed how easy it was.

i have a coat with 3/4 arms and i want arm warmers to keep my wrists cosy

rofl!

Lenny, I am sure of my own taste, don't have much money and I like it!

But as someone else said, its everything in moderation. I don't know anyone thats got top to toe Cath Kidston, just because it IS Cath Kidston.
