If you like the design, then a Mr Pigeon tea towel is also available for £8 from Lovely Pigeon.

 What's your favourite ice cream flavour? It’s most definitely the weather for ice cream and, having tasted some delicous ice cream over the weekend, this Favourite Flavours tea towel seems highly appropriate.
Designed and created by the wonderful Mr.PS, Manchester-based Megan Price, the tea towel is made from 100% cotton and is screen printed by hand.
Like the Full English Breakfast tea towel that we featured previously, it comes with a useful coloured ribbon loop for hanging.
The tea towel is available printed in raspberry or sunshine and you can swoon over your favourite ice cream flavours as you do the dishes!
It’s £10 from the Mr.PS store on Not On The High Street.

UK designer, Melanie Porter, specialises in creating unique hand knitted, contemporary chairs.
The chairs are all sourced from auctions and markets around the country, and are stripped back, restored and re-upholstered before being covered with a series of hand knitted panels. The end result is a one-of-a-kind chair and unusual piece of art.
What makes the chairs even more individual, is that they’re all given names.
 Olivia - knitted egg chair This is Olivia, a green hand knitted, modern egg-style chair.
 Jack - knitted tub chair This is Jack - a restored tub chair that it’s been given a lively look with a hand stitched check knit finish.
 Edward - Union Jack knitted chair And here’s Edward – a 1970s swivel chair, with a bold and bright hand knitted cable Union Jack design.
You can see more examples of Melanie’s work on her website, but she also has a store on Not On The High Street with knitted chairs for sale, plus other lovely knitted items. The Edward chair is available to buy from there, plus Percy Union Jack knitted cushions in various colours, a knitted table and an unusual knitted clock.

The close up photo of this wall art looks like dainty biscuits on a baking tray, but they’re actually porcelain buttons and not the slightest bit edible at all!
Created by Lauren Denney, this unusual piece of wall art looks effective in its monotone colours and features 24 handmade white porcelain buttons on a black background. The picture comes framed and ready to be hung on a wall.
You can buy the porcelain button wall art picture from Lauren Denney’s store; whilst there, it’s worth checking out her other handmade ceramic homeware creations too.

Celebrate your love of dogs, with this quirky typographic print by Betsy Benn.
This giclee print was inpsired by Betsy’s dog, Scrumpy. The dog-shaped print is made up of all the good (and sometimes frustrating!) words typically associated with dogs – such as ball, jump, protective, affectionate, shaggy, muddy paw prints and burying bones.
The typographic dog print is available in a selection of colours and costs £45 from Betsy Benn’s store on Not On The High Street.

 Bugatti light switch
It’s not often we use the words ‘novelty’ and ‘light switch’ in the same sentence, but that’s the case today.
This unusual Bugatti sports car design novelty light switch has proved to be a surprise hit since being featured on BBC 2′s Top Gear in December, with the yellow and black version selling out completely.
The shiny black and silver Bugatti light switch is now back in stock from creators, Candy Queen Designs, where you can choose which type of switch you’d like (dimmer or standard push on/off switch) and what background you’d like (Grand Prix flag or a map design).
If a Bugatti isn’t quite to your taste, then how about a red Porsche sports car or a VW camper van?
And if that’s not enough, Candy Queen Designs have all manner of other novelty light switches covered too (the mind boggles).

 Cute tree coasters Aren’t these coasters a great idea? Shaped like trees, they come in a little wooden block where they stand up in a very tree-like way, when not in use.
The coasters are made in France from wood (totally apt) and are a good mix of both a practical and decorative item.
The set of four wooden tree coasters costs £19 from Leaf.

These unusual illustrated bowls are part of the tableware collection by designer Martha Mitchell, a graduate from Nottingham Trent University.
Her unique ceramic collection features black and white illustrations from popular everyday food products on china bowls and other products. On the crisp bowl, for example, you’ll find tiny images of well known crisp packets, such as Wotsits, French Fries and Monster Munch.
On the sweet bowl, there are cute little images of sweet packets, such as Cadbury Eclairs, Pick ‘n’ Mix, Haribo Strawbs, Werthers Originals and Maoam Stripes.
All of the illustrations are applied by hand, so each piece is unique. The illustrated crisp bowl and illustrated sweet bowl are £12 each and would be perfect to use for Christmas entertaining or party nibbles.
There are lots more products in the range too that are worth a look, including a nice egg cup, mug and cake stand. All the illustrated products are available from Martha Mitchell Design’s online store.
