It’s funny how things catch your eye.

I spotted this cat string holder on ebay the other day. I had never seen one before.

I rather like it’s eyeshadow. My mum used to wear something similar, back in the day.

(Though I think, without wishing to be rude, that that particular colour might suit the cat better).

Anyway, having never really been aware of the existence of string holders before, suddenly I seemed to be spotting them everywhere I looked…

However, despite string holders now being most definitely on my radar, I am still undecided about them.

Are they cute and useful bits of kitschery, or just slightly naff dust traps?

You decide… ♥
