Vintage Daisy Jug
The prettiest floral pattern we ever did see! We adore this vintage daisy jug, and it can double up as either a gorgeous vase to hold your fleurs or to offer your guests a refreshing drink. We added a few slices of lemon and lime to add a little citrus touch to our h20. Yum!

Another beautiful jug, and the perfect addition to any home! We also think this makes for a fantastic gift for your friend, mum, granny or auntie. Display your white roses or hold your kitchen utensils, whatever you decide to do with this, it will look simply fabulous.
Halcyon Days Scented Candles
Just how beautiful is this pair of candles? Crafted from fine bone china, your room will soon be full with stunning fragrance infused with lavender. This takes us right back to our childhoods in the country, playing in the local lavender fields! We love the design of these, and you can also re-use the china once your candles have fully burned. See, we said everything is both practical and stylish!
iPad Bean Bag
We bet you didn’t know this even existed, did you? This is actually a great invention and the perfect stand for your iPad. Whether you’re catching up on your favourite blogs, or watching a movie, this tablet stand will ensure your device sits in place.
Venetian Memo Pad
Sure, we have notes on our iPhones but nothing will ever beat a good old pen and paper and we won’t hear any different!

We love this chic memo pad which won’t look out of place on your coffee table!
