These three mugs are all part of the chinaware collection from designer, Sophie Allport.
They come from the New Sequence range of mugs and each features a themed design with small images in a sequence. There’s a whole host of designs to choose from, but we rather like these three - The Good Life, Home Grown and Lay A Little Egg for Me!
Each of the mugs costs £8.50 and you can find them on Sophie Allport’s website.

 Stylish tableware If you missed the previous offer we featured, for the Maxwell and Williams Cashmere Allegro dinner set, then this Ruby range from M&S is almost identical.
Better still, it costs considerably less for a 12 piece set than the full price of the Maxwell and Williams version. Available in the same black and white or red and white choices, the stripy dinner set includes four dinner plates, four side plates and four cereal bowls.
Matching Ruby cups and saucers are £7.50 each and extra side plates are £6 each. Get the look and style, without breaking the bank!

We’ve featured the fabulous Dandelion Clocks wallpaper by Sanderson previously on the blog, in the blue, green and grey colour scheme.
If you’re a fan of the 50s retro design, then you may want to head over to John Lewis, as a whole new range of gorgeous matching homeware products are now available in the same Dandelion Clocks design.
They’ve got a choice of two colourways - the blue, green and grey, which they’ll calling Chaffinch, and a purpley-pink, green and grey, which they call Blackcurrant.
Some of the items in the range include porcelain Dandelion Clocks dinner plates (£8), bone china mugs (£6), Dandelion Clocks cushions (£30) and even a fantastic large Dandelion Clocks rug.
Many of the items are available in a choice of colour and they’re the ideal accompaniment to the wallpaper.

If you thought tea sets were boring and old fashioned, think again.
Tina Tsang’s Blaue Blume white tea set ceramics, with their lace pattern textures, have been given a funky modern twist by using legs as handles.
From a tea cup and teapot with leg handles, to a cake stand with legs popping out of the top, Tina Tsang’s designs are nothing short of quirky and memorable.
Granted, they may not be too everyone’s taste, but they’re certainly a different take on traditional designs.
The teacup (£35), teapot (£65) and cake stand (£128) can be purchased from All Things Original. You can even choose whether you want the dainty feet to have red or black shiny shoes.
What do you think - do you love ‘em or hate ‘em?

 Quirky chip set Relive happy memories of eating chips out of newspaper, with your very own French fries chip and dip set.
Produced from porcelain china, with an authentic newspaper print, this quirky piece is designed to look like a bag that would have chips in, but is durable enough to be used again and again.
You don’t just get the chip bag though, there’s also a dinky little sauce pot, ready to hold your favourite chip sauce accompaniment.
The French fries chip and dip sauce set will set you back £7.50 at Oliver Bonas.

Designed by Maxwell and Williams, and part of the Cashmere range, the Allegro dinner set is a fresh and stylish design that would work well in many a modern kitchen.
Available in noir (black and white) or rouge (red and white) the stripy design is made from fine bone china. Whilst the pieces can be bought seperately, a starter pack of 20 pieces - four dinner plates, four side plates, four soup bowls and four tea cups and saucers - is available from Cook in Style. If you need dinnerware for larger numbers, you can always buy two sets or add to it in the future.
Usually priced at £110 per set, the Cashmere Allegro 20 piece dinner sets are currently reduced down to a more tasty sounding £70 per set.
Both colour choices are available and you’ll find them at Cook in Style.

 Beautiful white jug Everyone needs a white jug or two, but why go for a plain old boring design when you could have this wonderful pelican jug?
Designed by Maxwell and Williams, and made from fine white porcelain, the jug is gorgeously stylish and will hold 0.9 litres of liquid.
It will look great on a table, but also equally good displayed in your kitchen or dining room when not in use.
Ziggi Ziggi have the pelican jug in stock and reduced from £10 to £7.50.

 What a great invention! Some things are just meant to go together - like strawberries and cream, bacon and eggs, gin and tonic, or tea and biscuits.
If you’re a fan of the latter, then isn’t this a great idea?
This cleverly designed mug has a built in ’shelf’ at the bottom to house (or hide) your biscuits. I often seem to find myself juggling carrying a hot mug of tea, a biscuit (or two) and umpteen other bits and pieces - usually whilst walking up the stairs - and wish I had another hand, so this gem of a mug will do perfectly.
The Dunk Mug is by Mocha and is available from Not On The High Street for £15.50. A worthy investment for 2010, whether you dunk your biscuits or not (Me? It depends on the type of biscuit - some are definitely best eaten without being dunked).
