Like LSA's Zabo vases we featured earlier in the year, you'd be forgiven for thinking these Rooster mugs were an older Scandinavian item. In fact they are another contemporary design by Monika Lubkowska-Jones. The mugs have a folk art look, each mug featuring a slight variant on a basic design of the silhouettes of two roosters.
A set features all four designs, each on a different colour mug, and costs £20.

It is available to buy from All Things Original for £40.

Give a little love this Christmas with this limited re-issue of By Graziela's heart pattern. Regular readers will know what fans we are of Graziela Preiser's colourful designs. This heart pattern dates from 1976 and looks as appealing as it must have done back then. It's being sold as cushions or, for the more craftily minded, as fabric in bright pink, red or orange colourways.
The cushions are for sale for £34 each while the fabric costs £21 per metre. But if you're interested you need to hurry as only 150 metres of each colour have been printed.
