after another crazy week, i'm finally able to sit and do a post!
we are onto our 2nd lot of visitors- or should i say visitor! My Aunty is over from America staying with us for 5 days. we haven't seen her for 3 years, so have had a great time catching up.
sadly she hasn't experienced Brisbane's usual warm and sunny weather. instead, it has been
absolutely freezing. On Thursday, the thermometer didn't get over 13*, and the sun didn't show at all! our coldest day here in 11 years!!
i received a package in the mail on Thursday from Dublin. My Mum
has caught the traveling bug and found a Cath Kidston store while shopping in Dublin!
she told me she would post a few things home.
I LOVE LOVE Cath Kidston, so was so excited!!
i got the cute birdy teatowel above,
this purse, keyring and luggage tag,
and i am in LOVE with it all!
i grab CK stuff whenever i can get my hands on it.
unfortunately, that's quite difficult here in Australia.
Most of my purchases have been through eBay.
i found this Cath Kidston
look alike bag in an op shop for $4!!! more LOVE... sigh...
i find that if i cut back part of the stem that has sat in water, replace the water
and container, i get a little more life from them, and therefore
more time to enjoy them!
i'm glad you like my painted silver plated items.
i just used regular white Dulux paint (as always!) and gave them 3 coats each.
i'm sure they will scratch over time from use, but you could maybe try sealing them?
i don't mind a scratch here and there so haven't sealed mine.
good luck with your own!

I adore Cath Kidston! I wonder if it was the store in the Dundrum mall or the Kildare Village? I just moved from Dublin to Dubai and used to live across the street from the Cath Kidston store in Dundrum - my favourite spot to spend an afternoon :)
