provence rose {and signature moves}

My order from Cath Kidston arrived yesterday!

The three sets of cutlery just too pretty to be hidden away in a drawer, were washed and immediately placed in different jars. {I like jars}



I ordered sets of forks, knives, and spoons but couldn't decide between all green or all blue so I opted for both: green forks and knives, and blue teaspoons.



Each set came packaged in cardboard tubes featuring the same Provence Rose pattern as the cutlery handles. The little oilcloth bag was a last-minute Gee, while I'm already paying $20 for shipping, why not add one more teensy item to my shopping cart ...
{A signature Elyse move -- evidence here}



Even though ordering from Cath Kidston can end up being pricey (I never get the pounds-to-dollars things quite right and then there's the aforementioned shipping), I am never remorseful about my purchases because I enjoy them so much. I've already rationalized that this is possibly my birthday present (even though it's months away).
{Again with the signature moves}



Shipping is prompt, communication is good, and the items are packaged in containers worthy of display.


At first I had my cereal bowls alongside but then thought maybe it looked too matchy-matchy.



I dug around for something white that wouldn't compete with the cutlery and pulled a few petal-shaped bowls from the back of a cupboard.

As mentioned in my previous post, I've been moving furniture around in my living room. One more idea to try and I'll be ready to take pics to post.

Only in blogland could I ramble endlessly about flatware. For this and so much more, I am very thankful.
