Child's rocking chair
This lovely wooden white painted rocking chair is the perfect size for children and comes complete with two cushions made from vintage fabrics.
It would be perfect for a child’s bedroom or nursery, or even used in a corner of the lounge, alongside complementary adult furniture.
It won’t break the bank, as it’s half price in the sale at RoseHip.
Mix and match lamps
Danish design has been making waves and Rie Elise Larsen is quite a splash (see what we did there?).
Top of our list are the whimsical, pleated lampshades finished off with a co-ordinating ribbon. Choose from a variety of prints in small and large shades (150-250Kr) then pair up with wooden lamp bases (350-750Kr) in colours including purple, pink and white.
We want them all. Please.
Ornate bench
It’s pretty, it’s beautiful to look at and it works as a stand alone piece.
Yes, this cream rattan bench is truly lovely and we wish it was in our house. Accessorise simply with a pink bow cushion ala the picture and just imagine a pair of lace gloves tossed over the arm. Perfect.
Find this bench for £273.95 at Melody Maison.
Patchwork garden quilt
Anthropologie is the new ‘it’ store in the UK, thanks to the American homewares emporium opening a branch in London’s Regent Street.
Priced so that you want it to last forever and ever is this garden quilt that draws on the current trend for patchwork with twisted rosettes stitched on to grey voile.
Brace yourselves folks, the garden quilt is £318.71 (VAT not included) here.
Shabby chic toy box
Begone, plastic boxes!
Make way for this rather fabby caravan toybox made from raffia and available in turquoise and stitched with pretty fabrics.
It’s far too pretty to be confined to the children’s room and we think it would make a great talking point in the lounge.
Prices start at £40 and there are other styles available.
Find it at Pinks and Green.
Shabby chic goes Danish
Why have plain glass when you can have an explosion of colour on your breakfast table?
Danish brand GreenGate is perfect for shabby chic fans that want their homewares to combine with modern living, so this 1 litre stoneware Mimi jug is dishwasher safe and handpainted.
Pretty fabulous candelabra
Candelabras do not have to be stern pieces of table decor, highly polished and dragged out but once a year.
No, they should be delicate, slightly vintagey, strewn with flowers and perched on a dainty base.
It’s a reasonable £39 and we don’t see why it shouldn’t be out on the table all year round.
Find it at Bombay Duck.
Lilac bookend
We’ve seen all manner of novelty bookends but never have they been as pretty as this.
The lilac heart has a gorgeous rose pattern and a smooth back that makes it look more like a stand alone trinket than a useful book stop.
Doesn’t every book deserve a happy ending? We think so too.
It’s £18.50 at Graham and Green.
Traditional xmas scent
There are a lot of scents traditionally associated with Christmas – pine needles, mince pieces and roasting turkey to name a few - but one of the classic scents is that of frankinscence and myrrh.
This lovely pot pourri set from John Lewis will bring that scent into your home, for only £12.50.
Glamping, a better class of camping
Obviously this isn’t one for the current weather, but, thinking ahead, wouldn’t this camping kit be marvellous for a summer of festivals and frolicks?
Just pack it up in your camper (what else?) and go whereever the wind (or your debit card at the petrol station) takes you.
You can buy the cotton roll-up bed by itself for £75 or you can go for the £115 package which includes solar shower, water powered alarm clock and LED lantern.
Never has eco made one feel so smug, or should that be, snug?
Find it all at Biome Lifestyle.
