I saw this and thought of you

He he he, this is a good'un. Are you allowed to say this or do you have to keep it said only in the privacy of your own home? It is hand painted text on a vintage plate by a lady called Trixiedelicious.

These would be good

This mug was found in a charity shop by Hazel Nicholls who designed some of the posters sold by Keep Calm (below). Good innit. Don't think they are still made anywhere though. All places where mass tea orders are taken should have these.

Pie Crust Labelling

Oooh look at this beautiful thing. Wouldn't you like a pie with the top rolled with this? (Well except you would have to have one that said 'Made in the USA'). It is made by a lady called Kathleen Hills, nice innit.

My new Moomins mug

This is the one that I wanted to get for Arran but they didn't have it at the show.This is the one I have got for myself - £13.50 - for a mug! But I have wanted it every year that we have visited the Finish Christmas Fair, so this year I got it and last night I had hot chocolate in it at the studio. YUM.I think this one is rather sweet too, but as I don't know the Moomin stories or characters, I have no idea if he is a nice kangaroo or a naughty kangaroo.

Pretty things from Shelf

Now... if you were here we would go for a visit to Shelf to get a few Christmas presents, so as you are not, then here are some cuter than cute things for you see that they have in this year from a Japanese designer called Shinzi Katoh. I most especially like the mug, and now that I have a Moonins mug, perhaps I can have this one too and a nice tray to put them on? Maybe you would like the tray too?

Tea Shop, tea cosies and a bambi.

Oh yes, you must have a row of teapots like these beauties. Imagine how good the tea shop could be! This is a selection of goodies from Couverture. So pretty.
