final grade: A+

Okay ... well, maybe since discovering Cath Kidston right here in beautiful blogland, I have written a post or two (or three or four or five, or more ...) about my adoration of all things Cath. And further admittedly, her cheerful vintage-inspired patterns on everyday items have become my top Etsy shop-funded splurge.



I have also been known to GASP out-loud (GOL?) over finding
Cath Kidston products at places such as HomeGoods, TJMaxx, and book stores. So when my sister Dede recently visited, she got quite the crash-course in Cath 101.

This is the current syllabus for Cath 101: the FREE catalog, which is actually a 98-page quarterly magazine brimming with fashion, home, and regular features.

I knew that Dede had passed the course with brightly flying colors when during an after-dinner sisters-jaunt to HomeGoods she called over to me, "Is this some of that Cath Kid-something stuff?"



GOL! "Why yes, Dede. IT IS!"



"And look!" exclaimed Dede, "It's on the clearance shelf and each tea cup and saucer is $3.00! I'll buy them for you." {Hooray for sisters}



Attention Cath-crazies: You might want to start checking your local places!

{Thanks again, Dede!}
