Decorative plate and cup set
We’ve been seeing more toadstool images cropping up in home accessories recently and this nicely designed plate and cup set is just one example.
Made from bone china, the matching set features a simple image of two toadstools and bluebells, with birds flying overhead.
The toadstool design plate and cup set is sold by Too Much Too Young for £24, but items can be bought individually if required.
Cute birdy mug
This fine china mug is decorated with an array of patchwork birds in cheery orange, blue and yellow. With the bird trend still continuing to be popular in home accessories, this fun mug is a nice new addition to have.
Even better, it’s really affordable at only £3.50 from House of Fraser.
Crazy Daisy storage
We love the Portmeirion Crazy Daisy design of homewares – it’s fresh, modern and funky.
There are loads of products available in the range, but for storage purposes, these storage jars are great.
The small storage jar is in the sale at Leekes, where it’s currently reduced to £14.50.
They also have the Portmeirion Crazy Daisy mug for £4.50, the Crazy Daisy plate for £8.50 and a set of six Crazy Daisy coasters for £6.
Once a bottle...now a dish
We love finding good examples of recycled homewares and this is one of them.
Once upon a time, this was a wine bottle, but thanks to the power of recycling, it’s been transformed into a glass serving dish.
The character of the wine bottle remains – it doesn’t take long to spot what it was in its past life – but it’s now perfect for serving small nibbles, such as olive, tapas or nuts.
The recycled wine bottle serving dish is sold by EcoOutlet.
Funky milk jug
It looks like a milk carton, but it’s actually ceramic.
This realistically designed ceramic milk carton works jolly well as a milk jug and is a quirky accessory to have in your kitchen.
It’s made from cream glazed ceramic and has blue or green handpainted lettering on it.
Buy it from Sorbet Living on Not On The High Street.

We were pleasantly surprised to spot that Plumo are selling some Orla Kiely design mugs.
Avaialble in four of the designers popular designs – green apples, red apples, multi flowers and khaki flower – the mugs are only £8.95 each from Plumo.
If you like the look of the French folding tray that they’re perched on in the picture, then this is available for £35.
