A Little French Secret

I love this French website/concept store. Such innovative and unusual items. I'm toying with the idea of buying this for my bedroom, so handy for hanging clothes instead of throwing them on a chair.

  If you have a terrace or a balcony you can happily exercise on this ball.

Desk Accessories With a Difference

Beyond Object's claim that they Make Objects Different From The Norm is true enough. I love that this pen shows that it is not ready for use.

This pen has a stylus tip at the othe end.

A sellotape dispenser that for once looks elegant.

A pen holder that doubles as a paper weight

And how cool is this fruit bowl? All available oline.

Ooh Oui Merci

Quirky Wallpaper

Merci is the first place I hit whenever I visit Paris. It's eclectic, classy and friendly. It's stuffed with the most amazing fashions and things for the home. In fact I could happily live there. Until I make my move to France I will have to make do with their website but they do deliver to the UK in superfast time so not such a hardship.

Cabbages and Roses Otherworldly Photography

I just love these stunning pictures Cabbages and Roses are adding to their Instagram page. Christina Strutt is always that one step ahead.

Simples at Good Hood

I love simple yet useful design. Good Hood based in London is a beautfully curated shop full to the gunnels with superb quality, simple items for the home and for wearing. I am extremely chuffed that they do a black potato peeler. I am so easily pleased. Oh and incidentally the prices are very reasonable.

Mokkasin Kids Sweden - So Cute

I miss decorating kids rooms. You can have such fun, until they are teenagers that is. I found this shop based in Sweden - Mokkasin. Here there are gorgeous minimilist pieces and I particularly like the odd socks. Kids do odd socks so well I think.

Bold and Beautiful Lighting

My lovely friend Laura and her partner Mark own House Junkie (formerly Uniche) a beautiful website full of the unusual and beautiful. Here's her latest find. These gorgeous stone and marble busts that are lights, yes lights. What a statement! Goddess Statue Pendant Lights

I Think I'm a Woman of Letters

I've seen some of this company's products previously but had no idea they did so much. I am IMPRESSED with a capital I. Design Letters and Friends in Denmark.
