Spotted! Origami Green Dinosaur Lamp!
We’re always on the hunt for quirky kids bedroom lighting – and I’ve rather fallen for this fabulous dinosaur lamp! Is it a brachiosaur? Or is it a diplodocus? Tricky to tell. Either way it’s peppermint green, and utterly charming. I’d rather like him plodding gently around my room at night. He stands 22cm tall, and is made not from paper at all, but from a tough polyresin which is much sturdier...
Win a £140 Polti Moppy Cordless Steam Cleaner
Regular readers might remember that we are big big fans of the Polti Moppy Cordless Steam Cleaner. Well, to be fair, they’re potentially more likely to remember the frankly shameful filth on my walls than the brilliant steam cleaner I cleaned it with – the results were so good (and the start point so horrible) that I still get asked occasionally exactly what it was that I used to clean that blackness from my walls. So when...
KitchenAid Stand Mixers are 30% off at House of Fraser – under £350!
If, like me, you’re lucky enough to already have one, then you’ll know how lovely they are. Mine’s called Doris, she’s candy apple red, has pride of place on the work surface, and gets a loving pat on her beautiful soft round curves on a regular basis when I’m passing. If you don’t have one, then it’s possibly you’ve been eyeing them up for a while, hesitating at the eye-watering initial...
Egg Cups! Real Proper Animal Ones. We LOVE.
Noodling about the interwebs, as I do (what? It’s my job, people!), I just stuck my head in the door of PenelopeTom to see what was new – and fell instantly and deeply in love with a hare and a zebra. Oh yes I did. Now tell me you’re not ooh-ing a little bit too, way down deep inside. Yes they’re a bit weird, definitely kitsch, oddly whimsical… but they’re downright HAPPY-MAKING. And they’re...
Spotted! It’s A Gorgeous Hare Mug. *happy face*
It’s no secret round here that we love a good mug. Possibly less well-known is that I have a bit of a thing for hares. Especially mad-eyed, scrappily visualised artistic ones (the March Hare I spotted in this post currently hangs on my bedroom wall, making me smile every day). So letting out a little “Oooh!” at this hare mug when I saw it on Etsy wasn’t terribly surprising. Isn’t it a beauty? I love the...
Win 1 of 2 £50 Vouchers for Glassware from Designs By Lolita

Each glass is hand-crafted and blown, so no two glasses are identical – very slight variations can occur in the thickness of the rim or weight of each...
