 Mini caterpillar style bud vase Sometimes small is beautiful and even the tiniest of accessories can make an impact.
With spring blooms finally opening up in the garden, there are lots of small and dainty flowers around, like crocuses, snowdrops and primroses. If you want to bring a few into your house, then this mini caterpillar design vase is the ideal way of displaying them.
The small round bud vases are joined together to provide a bigger impact – fill all of them, or some of them, with a few fresh blooms and enjoy the arrival of spring.
The caterpillar bud vase is just £9.95 from The Handpicked Collection.

 Ben de Lisi purple glassware We love glasses that have a hint of colour on their stem or base, but are plain glass elsewhere.
If you’re a fan of purple, then designer Ben de Lisi has created a lovely range of purple coloured glassware.
In the case of the glasses, all the glory of the purple is on the stem, creating an elegant design. There’s a cocktail glass and wine glass that both work well, plus a matching glass jug that has a lovely purple base.
All of the items in Ben de Lisi’s purple glass range are well priced, but they’re even better at the moment as they’re all reduced at Debenhams.
They’d be perfect for Christmas entertaining – and would tone in well with a purple Christmas tree!

 Heart and head glasses Are you ruled by your heart or your head?
Sometimes it can be a tough choice and a fine balancing line between heart and head, as this quirky glass design celebrates.
The tumbler style glass is by Space 1a Design and is made from recycled and reclaimed glass collected from Britain and Europe. The broken glass is reformed to produce the tumbler and the design is hand-etched in Somerset.
The heart and head glasses are sold as a set of six for £45 and would make a good gift and philosophical talking point.
Space 1a Design produce some other nice glasses with similar quirky designs – do check out their mood tumblers and mood glasses too.

 Rainbow glass carafe Marcel Wanders has designed some colourful products for the current season at Marks and Spencer and we can’t help but love this carafe water jug.
The handmade glass carafe has a striking rainbow striped design in the middle – it’s very eye-catching!
The carafe would be perfect for serving water in at the table, or to use to have water in by your bed, to quench your thirst if you get thirsty during the night.
The Marcel Wanders striped carafe is priced at £25 and matching hi ball glasses and tumblers (both £9.50 each) are also available.

 Contemporary garden sculpture These amazing garden sculptures are the creation of James Lethbridge, a UK based glass artist.
Called ‘Strange Fruit‘, each of these pieces is made from glass and are designed to be used individually or in a group as an outdoor installation.
They remind us of a cross between dandelions and little people and look so effective with several stems placed together. As they’re made of glass, they’ll sparkle as they catch the light.
The Strange Fruit designer glass sculptures are sold individually and available to purchase from James Lethbridge’s store on Bouf.

 Ornate glass design Aren’t these glasses gorgeous!
They were designed by Dutch designer, Tord Boontje, and are part of his Table Stories collection.
The clear glasses are blown by mouth and are ornately decorated with a white horse design. They’re so lovely, they almost too good to actually use!
If you do want to drink from them, they’re designed to be whisky glasses, but look like they’d work well as water tumblers too.
Jasmine Way have the horse whisky glasses in stock, with a set of two priced at £30.
Check out some of Tord Boontje’s other creations that we’ve previously featured.

 Stunning mosaic mirror Jazz It Up Interiors have a great range of funky mirrors available, including many made of colourful mosaic designs. One lovely example is this round Roulette mirror, which features stripes of multicoloured glass mosaic around the outside of it.
The art glass mirror is handmade on a dark solid wood frame and would act as a stunning focal point on a wall.
The mosaic mirror is available in a choice of three sizes, with an 80cm round mirror starting at £340.
As well as this design, we also really like the look of the contemporary Eclipse round mosaic mirror and the sculptural mosaic glass wall art, which is beautiful.
