    The Exclusive Heinz X Cath Kidston Collector’s Box

    May 1, 2018 - By 

    I know I haven’t written about my Cath Kidston obsession for quite a while, and then two posts come along (just like the bus!). Whilst I was in the West End last week I popped into Cath Kidston for a look around. One of the window displays was full of a collaboration between Cath Kidston and Heinz. Yes, from the 16th April you can buy special limited edition Cath Kidston designed tins of soup! The Exclusive Heinz X Cath Kidston Collector’s Box I love a bit of Cath Kidston print but I never expected to see them around a product…

    Don’t worry, I haven’t become a Beauty Blog (although there’s clearly nothing wrong with that). When an email dropped into my inbox about the Birchbox x Cath Kidston beauty subscription box I knew I was going to buy one. I’ve loved Cath Kidston for ages, although I have to admit I haven’t really enjoyed any of the new prints or patterns she’s brought out lately. It doesn’t stop me looking though and most of the Cath Kidston items I have around the house are brilliant quality and haven’t need replacing! Birchbox x Cath Kidston Did you know that Cath Kidston…

    Monday Happy List – Week 101

    August 29, 2016 - By 

    Bank Holidays are extra special around here. The sun is shining and we are looking forward to an extra family day and hopefully a long overdue trip to the cinema to watch The BFG. I am also relishing the thought of my inbox having an extra quiet day 🙂 This morning I am bringing you my weekly Monday Happy List special Bank Holiday edition. I mentioned that we are away for a few days. We started the week in Exeter, chasing rhinos around the city. We seem to pack an awful lot into weeks away which is both fun and…

    Monday Happy List – Week 100

    August 22, 2016 - By 

    Hello everyone, I hope you had a lovely weekend. It’s time for me to sit and write my weekly blog post about some of the things which have made me happy – my Monday Happy List. We’ve had my sister visiting all week which has been lovely. We had an epic day in London exploring one of the BFG Dream Jar Trails and spent lots of time drinking tea and eating cake. We made the Lemon and Poppy Seed cake from the Cath Kidston Teatime, book which was delicious. There was a trip to Hobbycraft too for more craft supplies…

    Cath Kidston Autumn Winter collection and a giveaway

    August 6, 2016 - By 

    For me one of the best things about being a blogger is the chance to work with some of my favourite brands. I’ve worked with Cath Kidston a few times now and was so excited to receive an invitation to their Autumn Winter 2016 Press Preview. I really enjoy press shows. I only go to a few of the brands I really love and I can’t wait to see their new collections before anyone else. The Cath Kidston Autumn Winter collection preview took place in a lovely venue just off Bond Street. On a very warm day earlier this summer…

    Cath Kidston Teatime: 50 cakes and bakes for every occasion

    July 2, 2016 - By 

    My book shelves are pretty full, and double stacked in places, but when I heard about Cath Kidston Teatime I really wanted to treat myself to a copy. I have all the Cath Kidston books as I love looking through them, but so far they’ve all been craft books. Cath Kidston Teatime: 50 cakes and bakes for every occasion is a baking book and I was excited to see a copy. Teatime is a British tradition that has become a staple the world over. Afternoon tea brings people together over sumptuous scones and sponges, elegant sandwiches, marvellous macarons and delectable…

    Monday Happy List – week 90

    June 13, 2016 - By 

    We started off our week with a visit to KidZania as the children had an Inset Day. They loved the experience which you can read a little more about in this post. They are still talking about it which is always the sign of a great day out. I have made so many things this last week that I really need a break. I know I love to be creative but I have had some insane deadlines lately. I’m always grateful if people want to work with me but I have to not take on so much. It feels like…

    Monday Happy List – week 80

    April 4, 2016 - By 

    We’ve just got back from a wonderful holiday in Devon. It was a typical week by the sea and there was mini golf, ice creams, swimming in grandad’s pool, walks along the beach, a trip on the steam train and spending spare pennies on the pier. I could get used to spending so much time outdoors and I think it’s safe to say we tired the kids out every day. Thanks Matalan for supplying some of the toys and games we took along with us. Whilst we were in Devon we spent a day in Exeter to escape the rain.…
