Spotted! Pottery Alfresco Milk Jug
Loving this rustic looking ‘alfresco’ pottery milk jug I just spotted over on John Lewis. It’ll look gorgeous on any table, creating a relaxed look that oozes Mediterranean appeal – and of course it will look AMAZING with a huge bunch of flowers inside it.

Win a £200 experience for sharing your own wild #ImpossibleExperiences!
I love this idea from Into The Blue – what experience would you choose, if money and practicalities were no obstacle? No rules, no boundaries – just whatever your brain could dream up? I’ll be honest, at first I didn’t think big enough. And then I started to play with the idea, it became a family conversation over dinner and we got much MUCH more imaginative.
