The Cat’s Meow

Last week while  I was perusing all the items at Fish Eddy with Caitlin we both stopped to admire some vintage looking dish towels. We both thought they were rather darling and I thought it best to share since I’ve been hooked on them since then.

Enter Cat Studio they were inspired by vintage souvenir pillows from the 30s and 40s. The put the prints on dish towels, pillows, aprons, tray, totes and drinking glasses.

Here are some of my favorites:

 

I was born and raised in NYC right by the South St. Seaport and Financial District so this dish towel would definitely be coming home with me.

Now I live in the suburbs of NYC so I would also need this one as well:

Plus how chic would this one look in a beach house (preferably one I will one day own):

If you twist my arm I would also enjoy a summer home here:

 

At only $20 a pop for a dish towel I would happily purchase as many as I like and use them in the kitchen, frame them and even make some toss pillows!

{Would some day like to live here!}

They make toss pillows as well, but for the $149 price tag I’ll take a dish towel and either some spare fabric or a cloth napkin for a backing and make one myself!

Hooked on Sweatshirts!

I haven’t played in awhile so I decided it would be fun to jump in and join in the fun this week on Hooked on Fridays!

These last couple of mornings during my daily walks with the pups and hubby it’s been a tad chilly. So, I’ve taken to grabbing a sweatshirt with me and it’s just reminded about how much I love the feeling of it.

It just makes me want to cuddle in front of a fireplace with my favorite book and relax.

Now don’t worry I don’t picture myself clad completely in sweatshirt material from head to toe.

I’m hooked on sweatshirt blankets from This is J.

 

This company uses sweatshirt material that then has vintage inspired logo hand printed on to the material. The material is then cut up into 31 pieces  and put back together in a patchwork format.

Ah heaven! They come in 5 different color ways, but the one pictured has to be my favorite!

I now can not wait for the fall weather to begin!

What are you looking forward to this fall season?

P.S.: Any help with yesterday’s post would be greatly appreciated. I’m leaning towards using Spoon Flower to get the results that I want, but it’s not coming out the way I want it to. Help!

P.P.S. : I have a fab lady to feature today on In her Shoes we are just experience some technical difficulties with her images. Hopefully it will be resolved soon and I can post it later on today.
