Make a note...

If you're after a handy solution for directing guests to your garden party, or if you always need a nudge to remember to put the bins out or feed the guinea pigs, these cute mini blackboards may well be the answer. Scribble down your message and dangle from a doorknob for a snazzy alternative to a scrap of paper.

Also available in gorgeous green...

We've got our hands on a gorgeous green Farrow & Ball and added it to our range of painted chairs. The Lovebirds chair is particularly perfect in this summery shade.

P.S. Our chairs make an ideal wedding gift because we can hand paint a personalised message on the rear of the back panel to make them that extra bit special. Makes a nice change from a toaster too.

Summer evenings deserve candlelight...

We've heard a rumour that the sunshine will be back a bit later in the week so we'll be enjoying eating supper outside in the garden once again. We've been after some pretty, windproof candles for the table for a while now and these lace printed candles seem perfect. In three summery colours, they're big enough to shed a gorgeous glow and they'd make a lovely present too.

Al fresco anyone?

We're really pleased to have this gorgeous handmade pottery on the site. It's a fabulous Mediterranean blue and every piece is uniquely special. We're particularly fond of the pretty flower plate, and can't wait to serve up some olives in that bowl...

Perfect for picnics

What a scorcher we had last weekend... We celebrated the sunshine with some serious al-fresco eating - barbies, picnics and summery salads. Our excellent jewel coloured melamine bowls came in super handy for serving up in style, transporting delicacies and storing valuable leftovers. They're stackable, sturdy, dishwasher-proof and sooo useful. Long may the sunshine last.

The sweetest thing...

Our current favourite thing has got to be the perfectly titled bon-bon dish.
They're as pretty as a picture an ace for nibbles to nestle in. We especially love this little glass dazzler...

and the colour of this svelte beauty...

They make us want to pop out and buy a quarter of toffee bon-bons.
