Love Alice in Wonderland? Celebrate and share some of the best quotes from the book, with this Alice in Wonderland themed cushion.
From the bold wording, “We’re all mad here,” to classic phrases such as, “We called him tortoise because he taught us,” and “You’re nothing but a pack of cards,” the front of the cushion is adorned with a newsprint style collection of favourite quotes from the novel.
It’s handmade and created by Vintage Designs Reborn and can be purchased as just a cover (so you can use it as a replacement cover for an existing cushion) or complete with an inner pad.
The Alice in Wonderland quotations cushion, and other designs based on quotes and lyrics, can be be purchased from Not On The High Street.

Our love of cushions is no secret and if you’re looking for a quick and relatively inexpensive way of updating a tired looking living room for spring, then changing your cushions is always a good bet.
New cushions can help introduce different colours to a room, add patterns, tone with an existing colour palette and freshen up the look of a sofa.
If you’ve already got cushions in use and the cushion pads are still in good shape, then rather than buying a whole new cushion, an easy way of saving money and updating your room for less is to simply invest in new cushion covers.
There are a wide variety of cushion covers available from high street retailers, with covers typically costing between £8 and £15 each. Or, if you’re a dab hand with a sewing machine and have found fabric you love, you could even have a go at making some yourself.

One of the many fab designers we spotted at the recent Decorex International 2012 event was Niki Jones.
Niki is keen to create beautiful home products using as many traditional crafts and methods as possible and this really shines through in her designs. But if you thought traditional crafts mean a lack of fresh, contemporary designs, then you’re most definitely wrong.
We particularly like the round design of Niki’s concentric cushion covers, which have a bold and modern striking design. The design is embroidered and finished off around the edge with handmade pompoms.
The concentric cushion covers are available in a choice of three colourways – chartreuse green on dove grey, dove grey on white or slate on natural linen, and can be purchased from Niki Jones.
