This Citroen Brooch is by the Australian designer Naomi Murrell, whose wooden birds we featured last month.
The brooch is in the shape of a vintage Citroen car, cut from rock maple wood with a brass clasp on the back. It would look cute pinned to the lapel of a retro-style jacket. It costs Australian $29 (around £19) plus an extra $9.90 for international shipping (free if you are in Australia).
Buy it online from Naomi Murrell’s Big Cartel store.
Available exclusively at Rockett St George is this Cassette Print by Hanna Melin.
It features an illustration inspired by compilation tapes we all used to make before they were replaced by CDs and downloads. The writing on the label on the tapes can be changed, so you can use the print to wish someone a happy birthday or to add your own personal message. The print measures 21cm by 30cmand costs £16.

Designer Rory Dobner has an impressive list of commissions including Christian Dior, Soho House and Agent Provocateur, but for those of us who can’t afford to commission a whole interior makeover you can buy these Alphabet Ceramic Tiles.
The illustrations for each letter are in a Victorian style, but slightly odd and surreal. Each tile measures 6 inches squared and cost £36 each.
Visit Rory Dobner’s website for details of how to buy them.
If taking photographs with a lomography camera isn’t challenging enough for you, then you might be interested in this Build-It-Yourself Recesky Twin Lens Reflect Camera.
Once put together the camera will take vintage-style soft focus photographs with the distorted colours you’d expect from lomography photographs. But first you have to built it, which looks like it could be quite a challenge judging by the number of little pieces of plastic it consists of.
The kit costs £35 from Pedlars.
A new range from People Will Always Need Plates is always welcomed and their new “Looking Up in London” collection is in their quintessential style.
Printed on ceramic mugs, the illustrations are of well-known architectural landmarks, but from the perspective of someone at street level looking up. Choose from the Post Office Tower, Battersea Power Station, 1 Canada Square or Centrepoint.
The mugs cost £10 each from the People Will Always Need Plates website.
This unusual teapot is not a rare vintage find, but the Milano Teapot from Dwell.
It has a distinctive shape, which gives it an Art Deco feel. It is described as being ceramic, but has a chrome finish. It costs just £19.95, but to me, it looks as if it costs a lot more. There are also Milano espresso cups and saucers with a similar curvy shape, priced £9.95 each.
