The lovely Pins and Ribbons, who specialise in handcrafted home accessories (we’ve featured one of their luxury doorstops previously), now have a small range of tea towels available.
The beach hut designs caught our eye, as they’re appropriately summery (even on a dull day). The tea towel on the left has a grey background with colourful red, white and blue beach huts and boats, whereas the one on the left is a sky blue colour with white seaside beach hut images on it.
Both tea towels are made from 100% cotton and are complete with hooks, ready for hanging in your kitchen. They’re very well priced at only £6.99 each from Pins and Ribbons.

 - Ceramic coffee or tea cup
Here’s a novel cup for your favourite tea or coffee. Designed to look like the coffee shop takeaway cups, this one is in fact made of a pretty blue and white china. It comes complete with a heat resistant sleeve, so you can carry it around and not burn your hand whilst you drink it, and a funky rubber lid, just like the ones you’re used to getting with takeout coffees.
If you’re really into eco issues and being green, you could even take this ceramic cup with you to your favourite coffee shop and see if they’re prepared to serve you a cuppa in this, rather than their usual cups.
