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.

I know it’s a bit early to think too much about dining outside on balmy days (one can but dream), but there’s no harm in planning ahead.
Table weights, which clip onto tablecloths, are a great way of securing a cloth on an outside table so that no unexpected gusts of wind accidentally ruffle the cloth and knocks glasses of drink over. They’re the kind of accessory that you can never find when you really need them, so why not stock up now?
These three gorgeous table weights, with their decorative glass beads, are all from Zara Home and are suitably stylish. There’s the bronze coloured Orson table weight, with its large mostacilla bead, the multi-coloured and vibrant Mathilde and the white beaded Limbert table weight.
Each of the table weights come in a set of four - one for each of the corners of your table cloth - and are available from Zara Home.

Once a upon a time, this handy pot was a rice bag. Now, thanks to a fairtrade project in Cambodia, it’s been recycled and given a new life as a plant pot, pen pot or washing up liquid holder.
Each recycled rice bag pot is handmade and no two are the same. The pot comes in a choice of six colours - red, orange, yellow, turqouise, navy and pink - and each measures 13cm by 15cm.
Use them to house your pots of herbs in the kitchen, on your desk for pens and accessories, or as a general purpose tidy pot.
The fairtrade recycled pots are a great example of the effectiveness of recycling and are only £5.50 each from Recycle-Recycle on Not On The High Street.
