Interior brand Mini Moderns has teamed up with design studio Magpie to create a range of porcelain tableware to celebrate the festival of Britain's 60 year anniversary. The range "Festival" features highlights of the 1951 festival and includes some of the iconic landmarks and geometric shapes of the era. I might be adding the range to my wishlist.

Kauniste Keitiossa Tea Towel - Blue Kitchen Pantry

I've stumbled across quite a few lovely alternative lifestyle shops lately, I seem to be tempted by all of the homewares. Mjolk is a Scandanavia inspired store which hosts lots of wooden and natural products, some with the splash of colour like the tea towel above, others with thoughtful aesthtic details like the dustpan & brush above -much nicer than the plastic ones you get at the supermarket. Anyway, have a gander at the site for some inspiration.

Etsy is a great place for inspiration, ideas and beautiful products & gifts. On today's searching mission I came across these lovely pieces by ZuppaAtelier. The Designer hand paints the quirky icons before firing the porcelain. I think the illustrations are really cute and playful, not sure if I'd eat my dinner off them but I'd certainly display them.
