Cath Kidston Rocks iPhones...

My computer was giving me some monster trouble signing online, maintaining a consistent signal, and letting me write blog posts or answer emails. I finally made an appointment to go to the Apple store and have a "genius" (that's what they call their techs!) help me figure out what the problem was.

It turned out that my airport card had died and needed to be replaced. While I was waiting for the repair to be effected, I strolled through the store and looked at all their goodies. Tables laden with iPads for people to try; iMacs with HUGE screens; and walls of accessories.

This one was my absolute favorite!

What especially caught my attention was an area that took up about 8' x 10' of pegboard, filled with all sorts of iPhone covers. I started to look for something that might have a sewing/quilting/needlework sort of theme and came across these fabulous Cath Kidston covers.

In case you're not familiar with Cath, you can check out her U.S. webpage here. She's been a favorite in the UK for years, with her wonderful vintage fabric patterns and homemaking accessories.

Great if you're reaching for a star!

I wasn't able to make a choice while I was there yesterday, but I now know which one I want and will make a second trip to procure one. Rule Britannia...pip, pip and all. (giggle)

Flower Power is always a great choice!

If you have an iPhone 4, you just might want to find an Apple store near you to get one of Cath's phone covers for yourself.

By the way, my computer is back up and running at full speed now, so don't be surprised if you finally get an reply to all the wonderful comments you've been leaving for me!




PS. Kelly (Tag's breeder) saw my post about the Katherine's wedding earrings and sent me this link to purchase some knock-offs. I should have guessed that someone would have already copied them. Thanks, Kelly for letting me know!!

Hello, It's Me...

Our cell phone contract ended about two years ago, but we've been holding off on a new contract hoping that our provider would offer Apple's iPhone™. Finally, in January, the iPhone came to our provider.

My Blackberry™ has been giving me a lot of grief lately, and Handsome has disliked his phone for a while. We figured now was as good a time as any to make a few decisions...whether or not to just get new phones and basic service, or upgrade our smart phones.
We decided to upgrade to iPhones™. Mine is a white 16GB iPhone 4, and Handsome got a black one. Of course we had to get silicone covers (mine is ocean blue) to protect them, along with a car charger and a handy little stylus for each of us. I can also use mine with my iPad.

I really like the way it feels and we're already fluent in Apple's user-friendly technology. I'll sync it up with my calendar, contacts and a few photographs tomorrow. Call me a "techi". It's ok with me. I can't wait to make a bona fide phone call with it!

A quick reminder...

Monday is Memory Lane Monday, however, because it's a holiday and many of you will be taking the day off, I'm going to keep the link open for a whole week. That way, you'll be able to participate any time between Monday, May 30th and Monday, June 6th. Hope you're thinking of a personal memory to share with us! My post will go up on Sunday evening so you can link up any time after that.

Happy Memorial Day Weekend!

PS. Hey, Shell. I thought you'd like a new tune to hum today! lol
