Gorgeousness


I received these gorgeous GreenGate tins in the post yesterday. I'm already having trouble deciding what is going in which tin. These are my first GreenGate purchase but I daresay they won't be the last. Their designs are so individual and easily recognisable. I have to say (takes a deep breath and hopes everyone won't hate me) but I don't really get the whole Cath Kidston thing. Don't get me wrong - the designs are very pretty - but you can buy very similar products far more cheaply that look just as good. However, GreenGate - well that just seems to light my candle and I have to admit to being a big Emma Bridgewater and Nicholas Mosse fan. Well there we are I'm out of the closet - will anyone ever read my blog again?

Of course we will continue to read your blog, life is so boring following the same thing. I don't own a single piece of Cath Kidston, there I have said it! I don't own a single piece of Emma Bridgewater either, shame on me! I am always on the lookout for pretty but practical prices. I do think these products are seriously overpriced, although I am not disputing they are lovely with it. I think I better stop now, otherwise there will be a revolt over on my blog. I do like the look of the GreenGate stuff, I am now off to investigate, I have already discovered Nicholas Mosse. x

Ok, I'll step out there with you - I don't even know who Cath Kidston is! The tins you have look lovely, tho, kinda early 70's flower prints, and what's wrong with that!

I completely agree with you and of course we will still read your blog. Every time I go into Cath Kidston to have a sniff around I feel as though my head might explode - it's pattern overload! I also saw some vintage crochet blankets in her shop a little while ago and had to sit down when I saw the price of them! I love these tins - they just make flapjacks taste so much better - I'm off now to investigate GreenGate and try very hard not to hit the "add to cart" button! see you soon. x

Hello
oh, I'm so glad you opened up your comments thing to non-Bloggers and I can leave a comment now - Thanks! :o)

I so feel the same as you re Cath Kidston etc, I like looking at her stuff but nothing ever really makes me want to buy it. But Greengate, ahhhh now thats completely different and I want EVEryThing! I have the exact same tins, and love them dearly.

Looking forward to hearing about your hols by the way, and thanks for your email xxxx
