Tea Towels and Such

I've been a little too excited about all things Cath Kidston lately. They're currently only in England and Japan, but they would be so huge in the US! Check out the website. Here are some of my favorite items from the catalogue I requested be mailed to The North Barn, even though I had absolutely no intentions of buying anything. Everything is too expensive for me, even if the £ sign was changed to the $ sign.

 Some warm striped pajamas

Some bath towels just for me

 

 A darling Christmas tea towel

Speaking of tea towels... I saw some really, really cute Atlanta tea towels at two different friends' houses (Kay and Anne), and I've been thinking about them ever since.  I did a little research today, and I found that this company makes geographical tea towels (among other things like pillows and glasses and t-shirts and beach towels and and and...) for many cities, all 50 states, countries, national parks, everything...

 Here's the image from the Atlanta tea towel.

And here's the Georgia one. Cute, eh?

They'd make great gifts for so many friends all over the world. I can think of specific dear-to-my-heart faces that would be thrilled to have a tea towel with geographical art from Vancouver, New Mexico, Michigan, Indiana, Arizona, Illinois, Chicago, Florida, Washington D.C., Seattle, Canada, America, Paris, England, California, or Transylvania (no kidding) embroidered on the front. 

If I had the moolah, I would collect all 50 states as well as towels for Atlanta... and England... and Yosemite. However, they're $20 each though, and they don't ship to the UK. What would I do with them, you ask? Not sure... I definitely wouldn't use them on the dishes though.
