Bargain price cream antique mirror

Friday, April 30th, 2010
Pick up a bargain

Pick up a bargain

We spotted a bargain! This lovely cream antique look mirror, which has a wooden frame and measures 65cm by 90cm, would have cost you £80 in Debenhams.

But it’s on sale and is now the super bargain price of only £25. We don’t imagine they’ll last long at that price, so get yours, before they all sell out.

It’s also worth noting that Debenhams currently have a special Home Event on, with 20% off many items and up to 50% off selected lines. So if you’re thinking about buying any homewares, you could save money in their sale.

Nigella Lawson measuring jug

Pink measuring jug

Pink measuring jug

The measuring jugs I’ve got all have the measurements on the outside, but I rather like the look of this Nigella Lawson measuring jug, which has all the key information on the inside.

From the outside, it looks like an ordinary pink kitchen jug – and there’s no reason why you can’t use it for anything else too – but look inside, and there are all the essential metric and imperial measurements for you to use.

The measuring jug is available from John Lewis and, if pink isn’t your colour, it’s also available in cream.

Pink embroidered cushion

Pink embroidered cushion

Isn’t this a stunning cushion? It’s part of a new range of embroidered gypsy caravan cushions from Graham and Green. All of the cushions are inspired by Indian tribal prints and patterns and the designs are gorgeous.

This pink square cushion comes with a foam cushion pad and measures 50cm by 50cm. Cushions are available in other colours, such as green, yellow, orange and blue and, in addition to the square design, there are lots of round options available too.  

All the gypsy caravan cushions are available from Graham and Green, where you can currently pre-order them.

Beautiful set of vintage tea plates

Tuesday, April 27th, 2010

Vintage plate selection

I’m a big fan of vintage plates and this is a great way of starting a collection or adding to an existing one.

The Traditional Flower Company are selling a selection of six vintage plates, all with a floral theme, that would be perfect for serving up afternoon tea on or simply for displaying in your home.

The plates all measure about 15cm in diameter, feature pretty pastel colours and floral decorations. Hunting for old plates and other pieces of china in charity shops and markets is fine, but you can’t guarantee that you’ll find plates with a similar floral theme or that measure approximately the same size, so this is a really good way of boosting your vintage plate collection.

The set of six floral plates are sent packed in a gift box and can be purchased from The Traditional Flower Company.

Pink flamingo wallpaper by Cole and Son

Monday, April 26th, 2010

blue-pink-flamingopink-flamingo-wallpapergrey-pink-flamingo

What do you think of this wallpaper? I never thought I’d be recommending flamingo wallpaper, but am strangely taken by this design by Cole and Son.

The flamingo design wallpaper is available in a variety of background colours, including pale blue, pink and soft grey, and it’s amazing how different they each look. You get to experience more of the background detail with the pale blue and soft grey colours, but the pink background seems to make the flamingos stand out even more.

The blue and soft grey flamingo wallpapers are both avaialble from Wallpaper Direct. More details of the pink wallpaper, and more colourways, can be found on the Cole and Son website.

Lovely homeware finds at House of Fraser

Thursday, April 22nd, 2010
House of Fraser

House of Fraser

When I’m buying home accessories, I must admit that House of Fraser isn’t the first place I’d think of looking. But having stumbled across some of their homeware items, I’m really impressed.

All the items in the picture are available from House of Fraser and, used individually or together, they add a touch of charm and interest to your home.

The lilac bird keepsake box, near the front of the photo, is by Linea and the top comes off to reveal a secret hidey-hole for all your treasures and keepsakes. The box is £12.

The pink Linea butterfly vase is really unusual, as it’s decorated with 3D images of butterflies that look like they’ve just landed or about to fly off. It’s perfect for displaying a single rose or flower stem and is also priced at £12.

I love the ornate Varsailles cream mirror at the back, with its classical styling. Now is currently a good time to snap it up, as the price  has been reduced by £20 in the sale, making it a great bargain.

The watercolour glass photo frame is adorned with handpainted pink and blue floral and buttefly designs and fits really well with the other pieces.

The flowers draped around the ouside of the mirror are lovely as decoration, but they also function as lights too, so you can light up your mirror or dressing table area. The pink peony fabric lights are fitted with 20 bulbs and are ideal for creating a summery feel in a room.

Gorgeous framed butterfly collage by Tozzy Bridger

Unusual collage

Unusual collage

This unusual butterfly collage is handmade by Hampshire-based artist Tozzy Bridger, who uses strips of torn magazine cuttings to create beautiful collage designs.

The collage is made on recycled card and presented in a simple 17cm by 17cm frame with a caption underneath. You can choose from captions such as, ‘Rare specimen’, ‘Butterfly beautiful’, ‘Buttefly flutterby’ or come up with your own personalised caption.

Each piece is unique, so colours do vary, but the end result looks stunning. Compared to other similar collages, Tozzy’s butterfly collage seems very well priced at only £16.50. It would look lovely on a wall of your home, or be ideal  for a special gift.

The butterfly collage is available to purchase from Tozzy Bridger’s store on Not On The High Street. Other similar collages are available in the form of a dragonfly, moon, star and heart.

Le Creuset round stoneware cerise casserole dish – bargain alert!

Lidded casserole dish

Lidded casserole dish

I love Le Creuset stoneware cooking dishes and this one is available at a bit of a bargain price.

Amazon are currently selling the cerise lidded version at 40% off, which it makes it very reasonably priced for a good quality casserole dish. It measures 21cm in size, is available in the popular cerise red colour and should provide many years of good cooking use.

Get yours before they all sell out!

Collected memories wall art mirror

Unusual mirror art

Unusual mirror art

Is it a mirror, or is it wall art? Well, it could serve as both.

This unusual piece, called Collected Memories, is made up of a collection of random, vintage mirrors which have been put together to form a unique piece of wall art. No two mirrors are exactly the same and every piece is unique.

It’s a lovely use of old mirrors, bringing new life into pieces that may well have been long since discarded.

The Collected Memories wall art mirror is sold by Anthropologie, for the rather hefty price of £618.

If you happen to be feeling creative, or have a few old mirrors or picture frames lurking in your loft, then perhaps you could feel inspired to do something similar?

Duck feather pillow offer

Wednesday, April 14th, 2010
Feather-filled pillow

Feather-filled pillow

How often do you change the pillows on your bed? Some sleep experts suggest we should do so every couple of years, but in general the time has come to change them if they’ve gone all saggy and don’t puff up like they used to.

One good trick to try is folding your pillow in half – if it stays that way without bouncing back into shape, it’s time to invest in a new pillow!

Feather filled pillows are often considered to be a luxury item, compared to hollowfibre pillows, but M&S do a good Outstanding Value range of duck feather pillows.

They’re even better value at the moment, as you can currently buy two duck feather pillows for £9.50 (the usual price for one pillow is £6).
