Posted on | Leave a comment

SunburstWe have featured clocks from Decoylab before but we just had to share this one with you.

Unlike the previous Decoylab clocks we've featured, the Twinkle Clock is a bit more grown up. Clearly inspired by the ubiquitous mid-century sunburst clock, the two-layered 'bursts' are made of bamboo, giving it a distinctive stripe pattern and a real vintage feel. A sustainable and stylish addition to any retro room.

The Twinkle Clock is $68 from the Decoylab Etsy store.

Doggy
Emma Bridgewater is the last word in retro ceramics. Her nostalgic patterns, ranging from hearts and flowers to Union Jacks and wildlife, have adorned everything from crockery, big and small, to AGAs.

This set of Polka Dot Dogs are the perfect addition for the Bridgewater collector who thinks they have everything. Inspired by the vintage porcelain spaniels you probably remember from your grandmother's mantlepiece back in the day, these perky puppies are covered in Emma's signature polka dot pattern. The canine companions stand at just under a foot high, perfect for perching on your fireplace or, if you're lucky enough, to match your AGA.

Also available in letter print. The pair are £495 exclusively from Liberty. See the website for more details.
