Cath Kidston Factory buys

Since it's opening back in Oct/Nov last year I have managed to rack up a few purchases, sssh don't tell my bank manager.  Like a lot of people I do think that her items are over priced and if it weren't for this little haven of reduced goodies I would probably own but a couple of bits.  Anyhows I'd thought I would share with you the fruits of my visits and see what you think.  You will notice a bit of a frock theme going on.
Frock No. 1 - my first purchase, £20 and surprisingly the medium fit me which was good as the only one they had on the rail.  I like to wear it with Emus and a long sleeve tshirt underneath.
Frock No. 2 - well tis a tad short for a frock but can just get away with it if thick tights are worn beneath - £20.  This is a very soft cotton and has pockets in the side seams which I love to stuff my hands in.
Frock No.3 - Longer version of frock no.2 style in the check that I like so much. Slightly dearer at £30 but very comfy and could wear without tights in the summer, here's hoping.
This cute little grab bag was a Xmas pressie from my darling sister, she has no problem buying me pressies now with the shop on our doorsteps.  Even she is slightly hooked now.
Another obsession I have is the gadget cases.  They are brilliant value and are super soft and squidgy on the inside to protect your valuable items.  I have my camera, iTouch and Blackberry in them.  Feel I need to get some more of these beauties.
Now I'm ever hopeful that we are going to have a nice summer and I can stroll down the town with this lovely lined basket and fill it with veggies from our Farmers Market.  I like that it stands up even when empty some baskets tend to topple over which drives me nuts. - £12
 
A cover for my iTouch, makes it really nice to hold and doesn't slip out of your hand.
Fabric, fabric, fabric, love, love, love.  That's all I can say about!
Last piccie, finally I've reached the end and hopefully haven't bored you all to death!  Assorted key fobs, some bought, some gifted.  Being large these babies mean I can now grab my keys from the bottom of my overstuffed bag easily, which is brilliant when it is chucking it down with rain I can tell you.

Anyone else been to the store?  What did you buy?  What's your favourite items?

Thank you for popping by, Lolo. xx

  2. Love all of your purchases. I have a Cath Kidston shop nearby which I dive into every time they have a sale just so I can snap up a bargain. I love her large tote bags, great for throwing everything in. Also, I agree, her keyrings are fab for being able to grab your keys! I also love all the little gadget cases as I'm sadly a bit of a handbag tidy-upper and tend to have everything in its own little pochette. I don't know why I have to organise my bag so much, but find it really therapeutic! Thanks for sharing, I really enjoyed seeing all your gorgeous things. Em x
