Spotted! Really Special Bunny Lightshade
Totally adore these vintage-feel handrolled lightshades – utterly charming for any childs bedroom, we think. The rabbits started life as illustrations in a Victorian product catalogue, and we’d love to see them glowing gently in the corner of the room. It’s available in a pendant or lamp base fitting – and best of all, it’s currently half price at just £15! Gorgeous AND good value! The Child’s...
Spotted! Gorgeously happy Soup Mug from Sarah Heaton
I first saw Sarah Heaton’s ceramics in her NOTHS shop, but soon meandered over to her own web site for a closer look. And instantly fell in love! Is there anything happier on a chilly January day than the perfect mug filled up with your favourite soup? No, I don’t think there is. TOTALLY love this square mug from her Birdware range – you just know it would feel perfect when you wrapped your hands around it. Yes...

Spotted! A Unicorn Notebook – love it!
LOVE this notebook! Perfect for my New-Year-Tidy desk (and clearly those unicorns have as much paying-attention skills as I have).

Totally worth it, just for the smile it’ll raise every day.
Spotted! A Simply Delicious Velvet Quilt (just made for a day like today).
I am cold, and it’s damp and grey AGAIN outside. I do not feel like working. I feel like having one of these delivered to my house, and settling down inside it to watch the Harvey DVD I got for Christmas (again). A kingsize velvet throw, hand quilted, and backed with the prettiest of vintage fabrics. On top of which it’s 30% off. Seriously – I want want WANT one… Spotted in Shruti Designs NOTHS shop, the quilts...
Bestest Christmas Gift Guide – The (utterly brilliant) Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ62
Like a lot of people, I LOVE my photography. I’m not serious about it (in the way my husband the professional photographer is), but I can never quite get enough of taking photographs, and I always want to make them better. I have a really ‘good’ DSLR I was spoiled with a few Christmas’ ago, plus various lenses – but I find I rarely take it out as it’s cumbersome when I just want to play in the woods...
