Midwinter’s Country Garden range is absolutely beautiful – it’s one of my favourite pottery prints, in fact. Jessica Tait designed it back in 1967 and its colourful, kitsch pattern will brighten up any kitchen, dresser or breakfast tray.

I discovered this little trio of beauties at a car boot sale a few months back. The pattern is gorgeous, as are the wooden lids. After doing a bit of research online, it seems they were made in the late Sixties/early Seventies. Not too sure what to store in them just yet (too good for spices, right?)… maybe I’ll pop some buttons in ’em.

There’s no denying that a piece of homemade cake and a freshly brewed cup of tea is a match made in heaven. Therefore, with the smell of freshly baked lemon cupcakes lingering in the nostrils, here’s a roundup of the most beautiful afternoon teasets in the shops. Some are particularly pricey, but why not indulge in a piece as and when you can afford it?Alternatively, scour local charity shops for odd cups and saucers – it’s an excellent way to form your own, bespoke teaset at a fraction of the price.

I don’t know about you, but I buy flour that’s packed in paper bags and it drives me crazy when the bag harbours excess flour in the folds of the paper, or rips, then goes everywhere. So, in an effort to combat this, I decided to embark on a hunt for alternative storage methods. Here’s what I found, and, as always, just click on the images to be taken directly to that product page.
