Vintage camera pencil sharpener

Wednesday, December 14th, 2011

Cute and quirky desk and office pencil sharpenerCamera pencil sharpener Christmas stocking gift idea

Styled in the form of an old vintage camera, this great little piece is actually a pencil sharpener.

Despite it’s old styling, this little gadget is full of mod cons. To sharpen a pencil, just pull out the top section and slot the pencil in, then turn the lever on the back. You can even adjust a setting to determine how sharp you’d like the pencil to be.

Look through the lens and you’ll see the shavings begin to build up – they’re easy to empty out when they get too full.

The vintage camera pencil sharpener looks great on a desk and could solve a Christmas present dilemma or two!

The camera sharpener costs £16.95 from Graham and Green.

Silver cockerel desk magnet

Wednesday, September 21st, 2011
Magnetic desk tidy paper clip holder

Magnetic cockerel

I’m rather fond of desk magnets (I currently have a nesting bird paperclip holder on my desk) as they’re fantastic for keeping all those pesky paperclips organised and handy (and, in my case, the odd coin or safety pin too) and have just discovered this lovely silver cockerel desk magnet.

Perch him on a corner of your desk or kitchen worktop and he’ll keep all your paper clips safe. With his long neck and tail feathers, I’m sure you could also use these for keeping rubber bands organised.

The silver cockerel desk magnet comes boxed and costs £11.95 from I Like Chickens (a website that is entirely dedicated to chicken-related products!).

Patchwork pinboard notice board

Patchwork notice board

Patchwork notice board

Ah, swoon! I’m in love with this fab patchwork noticeboard or pinboard!

I love the patchwork design and the great collection of assorted fabric patterns, which celebrate the art of patchworking. Made from the classic hexagon shape pieces of patchwork, this functional patchwork noticeboard has a wooden frame and is designed to be mounted on a wall.

It would be perfect for use in a craft room, study or kitchen and is very unusual, as noticeboards go. If you want to get your mitts on the patchwork noticeboard, then head over to the Colloco sale, where there’s nearly £20 off the original price.

Hotel style framed letter rack

Monday, May 31st, 2010
Handy storage for notes or messages

Handy storage for notes or messages

I love this idea of a hotel style letter rack, from Berry Red.

The piece comes in a white washed wooden frame and inside there are six fabric covered racks. Each of the racks can be used to slot in notes, messages, receipts, postcards or reminders and it’s a really nice alternative to the other types of memo boards.

You could use it purely for display purposes, as greetings cards, photos or postcards would look great peeping out of the racks, or you could use it for the functional purpose of storing your receipts, shopping lists or reminders of things you’ve got to do.

The simple white washed frame makes the letter rack suitable for hanging in all sorts of rooms, from family kitchens to home offices.

If you fancy hanging the hotel style letter rack on your wall, then it’s £50 from Berry Red.

Butterfly letter holder from Urban Outfitters

Friday, May 21st, 2010

butterfly-letter-holder-black    butterfly-letter-holder-Blue

We’ve been browsing the range of homeware available at Urban Outfitters and have been quite taken by a number of items. First up are these dainty butterfly letter holders.

Produced in a cutwork effect, you really get to see the intricate detail on the butterfly wings. The piece is the perfect size to be a letter rack, but if you’ve got another storage use in mind, it would be equally effective.

The black sets the cutwork off very well, but the pale blue is a more softer colour that would look better in some rooms. It’s also available in white, too. Pop this letter holder on your desk, to replace a boring old one, and it would really liven things up.

Greengate melamine sylvia beaker

Floral melamine mug

Floral melamine mug

Greengate are renowned for their appealing homeware products, and this Sylvia melamine beaker is no exception.

The hardwearing melamine means that it would be perfect for using outside in the garden, or if you’re out and about on picnics, but there’s no reason why you can’t use it in the home too.

Even though it’s intended to be a drinking vessel, we rather like the idea of adopting this piece as a pen pot and think it would like great filled with pens and pencils on a desk.

You can buy the Sylvia melamine beaker, plus similar pieces in other designs, from Berry Red.

A charming noticeboard

A charming noticeboard

Notice boards need to step up their game now that there is this delectable tree and butterfly version.

Two butterfly magnets are included to get you going but, really, it’s going to be a struggle to cover it up with shopping lists, notes and whatnot, isn’t it?

There’s currently a waiting list for the £19.99 notice board – add yourself to it at Rockett St George.

Heart shaped chalkboard

Heart shaped chalkboard

Heart shaped chalkboard

The trend for adding chalkboard into home interiors is continuing (there are lots of chalkboard paints that you can use on your walls, for example), but if all you want is something simple to jot down a few notes on, then how about this lovely heart shaped chalkboard?

The board is handmade in Britain, is designed to hang and has a little extra addition in the form of a smaller decorative heart.

Depending how much space you’ve got available, or how much you want to write on the board, it’s available in three sizes – small (£8.50), medium (£10.50) and large (£15.50). You’ll find it for sale over on the Angel website.

Plumo final sale bargains

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!

White magnetic metal memo board

Ornate magnetic memo board

Ornate magnetic memo board

Magnetic memo boards are a great alternative to noticeboards and drawing pins and are all the rage at the moment.

We love this rather unusual shaped magnetic memo board from the Catkin Collection, which looks really ornate vintage in style.

Its unusual shape really makes it stand out from some of the other memo boards on the market, giving it the added advantage of being decorative too. It’s made from white metal and comes with six gorgeous mock crystal magnets, that really help glam it up.

The memo board costs £44.50 from Catkin Collection and comes complete with the fixings you’ll need to put it up on the wall.
