You may have noticed the mirror hanging above the Domino Sideboard we featured yesterday. This is another great item from Calligaris, the Bubbles Mirror.
The mirror is made up of 8 mirrored circles in various sizes, with the space between made from either glossy white or black lacquer, ebony or my somewhat predictable favourite, the wenge.
The Bubbles Mirror is available to buy from One Deko for £216.50.
Combining the current craze for wall stickers with eternally iconic scooter image is this Vespa Wall Sticker.
This wall decoration originates from France and is available in a choice of 39 different colours and five sizes. Prices range from £49 for a 100cm by 60cm sticker up to £181 for the massive 250cm by 150cm version. If the Vespa isn’t your preferred retro mode of transport, then the same range also include a Mini Cooper, VW Beetle and Citroen 2CV.
The stickers are available in the UK from Rockett St George.
Jocelyn Proust's handpainted tiles have a distinctive 1970s feel. The floral designs above are typical of her bright and colourful work which also features more naturally inspired patterns including leaves and birds.
These tiles measure 100 x 200mm each and are ready mounted for display with a hanging on the back of each one. Jocelyn is based in Australia so each tile costs $30 AUD but you'll need to add shipping onto that.

We like Bodie & Fou, it digs up some real leftfield gems when it comes to art and design. But this time, the retailer has a rather interesting book – London Vintage by Editions Paumes.
Described as 'the ultimate guide to the capital’s most sought after antique, vintage and second-hand addresses', it claims to offer some 'best-kept secret' vintage shops, everything from antiques, architectural salvage and homeware through to fashion and accessories over 128 boldly-coloured pages.
Downside? Well, Editions Paumes is a Japanese publisher, so the key details are in English, the images are universal, but the detail is in the Japanese language. If you can live with that, you can bag this gem for £20.
Another new London vintage fair event for the calendar, the 'Vintage..and more' fashion fair which is being held at the Byam Shaw College of Art, N19, this Sunday 27 September.
As well as the typical array of vintage clothing stalls, the '…and more' bit of the title refers to the fact they'll also be selling customised items of clothing and will be featuring makers who create new designs from vintage fabric. Because of this, they are promising a larger-than-usual selection of clothes for men and kids. There will also be a section devoted entirely to haberdashery.
The fair runs from between 11am and 5pm. Entrance costs just £3 (or £2 for students) but the bargain hunting starts early as there's the opportunity to request free entrance tickets on their website.
