If like me you like Cath Kidston just for the kitschy chintzy patterns and style, then you might want to get your hands on one of these:
£4 from Primark. It's a good size and is ideal for my mountain of makeup.
Just after I bought this I found a stall in the MetroCentre selling handbags and found this shopper for £10 so I snaffled that up too. I'm not a label snob, and couldn't care that it's not Cath it's Cath esqe which is close enough for me I just love the patterns.
I have been meaning to show you these lovely gifts I recieved recently, this is a handmade key ring from my bestest friend who is a rather talented jewellery maker in her spare time;
She also made me this, not sure what it's called but it's to help me to stop putting my glasses down and losing them on an hourly basis.
I really love this, I wear glasses at work when using horrible spreadsheets all day and I am forever losing them, quite often finding them in my hair! Now I won't; I feel like a librarian in these and will certinaly give off an air of superiority at work; my work glasses are at work but I have modelled them using my sunglasses;
Fab or what, thanks again Nic xx
I also got a knitting mag from our own sexy Annie this week with the most fabulous postcard;
I found this pattern inside that I have to make, I have a cushion habit at the moment and it jumped out at me.
I'm almost finished a crochet cushion that I have been on ages with I'll post it soon, but for now here is a snippet:

I LOVE the crack whore picture :)
You'll probably have the cable-knit cushion done by...oh...tomorrow?
Ah that cushion looks very pretty! I love that you relish the thought of giving off an air of superiority at work! :D
Love that crack-whore picture, I think I might pinch to use as a FB profile pic!!
Looove the CK-esque finds, will check out Primark next time I nip into town.
Em xxxxx
love th glassses chain, i only wear sunglasses, but i can onlky ever buy primark ones as i always lose them!
OOoh yes, loving the make-up bag from Primark. Brilliant bargain. Looking forward to seeing your crocheted cushion in all its glory - those colours look gorgeous and the stitching look so neat and tidy - I can only dream about being neat and tidy.
NEED that Primark bag!
I love the crack whore picture! You rock those specs, love. xxx

What a great post, I love it all and I want one of those crack whore postcards x
The crack whore pcture brought a smile to my face - some lovely gifts there. Think I might just have to pop into the metro centre after work one night and have a peek in primarni - I'm with you on the label thing, don't care if it means I can get something similar for a lot less. xxx
Love the card and the make up bag. I could do with one of those for my specs - I am forever losing them - sometimes they are actually on my nose but I still hunt for them!!
How is it that no matter how many pairs of glasses I own, eventually they all end up in the same room - and I can't find any of them! Very good CK alike finds and a brilliant postcard. I really love the crochet cushion , did it take ages to make?
You are very good at hunting out the good stuff Kandi. Liked your charity shop post too, I love a good nose at what people buy! ;-) xx
Bwahaha, the crack whore picture is excellent!
Don't you look gorgeous in the glasses photos? I never dare do closeups of my face!
Glad you liked it you crack whore!!!! Those CK style bags are bloody gorgeous, and a much more attractive price too!
You look pretty sexy your self in those shades! What a looker!
love the bags :) I have a craving for shabby roses at the moment (again lol).
Im always miss placing my glasses too (Ive left a pair at the hospital so picking them up Thursday) I have to get 2 pairs everytime I need reading glasses lol
Can not wait to see you cushions :) :) :)

I'm really in need of something to dangle my specs from, I'm forever loosing them and driving everyone insane.
Love the CK inspired makeup bag and tote, total bargains.
