Laura Ashley botanical bird jug

Trendy bird design jug

Trendy bird design jug

Glass jugs are hugely useful to have in your home. They’re great for serving up ice cold drinks, large jugs of cocktails, or for doubling up as a vase and displaying some gorgeous flowers.

Simple in design, and with straight sides, this glass jug is given lots of extra appeal by the addition of its botanical bird print.

Sweet little birds are pictured perching on tree branches and it’s a very on trend and stylish design.

The jug measures 26cm by 11cm and is £22 from Laura Ashley.

Thursday, October 29th, 2009
French-bottles2      Decorative French bottles    

If you love all things Vintage, old style bottles and fancy labels, then you’ll love these decorative French bottles and jars from Cologne and Cotton.

All the bottles and jars are sold empty, so you can add your own contents or simply use them for decorative purposes. The labels are reproduced from traditional French 19th century designs, similar to those found on old perfume bottles.

The vintage bottles are available in two sizes, 500ml (£25) and 1 litre (£30), with three designs to choose from, and the storage jars with lids are £25, with two designs on offer.

Plumo final sale bargains

Thursday, August 20th, 2009
Plumo vintage magnetic board Plumo vintage magnetic board

If you’ve been umming and aahing about whether to buy items in the Plumo sale (or is that just us?), then today is your last chance, as the sale ends today (20th August). There’s also a tempting extra offer of free postage (worth £4.50) on standard online orders.

The Plumo sale prices have already been reduced a couple of times (you can see the reductions listed on individual items), so many pieces are much more reasonably priced than how they started off.

Some of the lovely home items you could snap up include a vintage green metallic magnetic memo noticeboard for £15.

Cherry glass decorative jar

Cherry glass decorative jar

An old-fashioned pressed glass storage jar, with a decorative cherry design, that you could use to put homemade jam in. The tall jar is available for £4 and it has metal clips on it to keep the lid secure.

Six meadow flower hooks

Six meadow flower hooks

A set of six dainty and decorative meadow flower hooks. They’re cream coloured, made from metal and you get an assorted variety of different designs.

The set of six started off as £33 per set, but are now down to £19.

Vintage fabric magnetic noticeboard Vintage fabric magnetic noticeboard

A vintage fabric magnetic noticeboard, reduced down to £10 (was £28). The magnetic buttons shown with it have sold out, but there are lots available elsewhere, so that shouldn’t be a problem.

We’ll admit to have been tempted by this, but were initially put off as they say that the fabric and colours may vary from the picture shown, and at full price, we were worried we may end up with a not-so-nice fabric. Perhaps that’s why it’s ended up in the sale, as it’s not ideal to be unsure of what you’ll get – you want it to match your home decor, after all!

There are more interesting items in the Plumo sale, so go and have a look - it’s your last chance to get a bargain!
