Become a lady for the day with this Flutters & Fancies cake stand from John Lewis.
It's lovely and delicate and deserves to be stacked with finger-sized cucumber sandwiches and fondant fancies immediately. The mis-matched design shows a vintage chic and the two designs sit well together. If you want to go all the way, there's also a tea pot and tea towels in the same range.
Get yours online or in a branch from John Lewis for £22.50.
Cast your mind back and you may remember Hackman summer casserole dish, a charming piece of kitchenware featuring a great 50s-style pattern. That range has now been expanded to include more things for your kitchen, including a summer jug and a colander.
Like the casserole dish, both items are decorated with the retro pattern of vegetables, produced by Dog Design. All the products are made from traditional enamelware, meaning the products should last you for the foreseeable future – a touch of pretty practicality for your kitchen.
The colander costs 33 euros, while the jug is available for 19 euros.

Ingela Arrhenius is becoming a regular on this site, and now her 50s and 60s influenced designs are more accessible than ever with these retro dish cloths.
We've featured quite a few of these Scandinavian designer dish cloths before – a far cry from the usual soggy washing-up implements. There are three different designs to choose from here, each with its own cute creature. Take your pick from an owl, a cat or a hen, all depicted in her distinctive style.
The cloths cost £3.75 each.

There seem to have been a lot of fish on this site recently, from Marianne Westman's My Garden tray to the Jonathan Adler plate. Here's another slice of retro fish style, the Klippan fish tray.
The tray is designed by Bengt & Lotta, who frequently pop up on this site, and is typical of their fun and graphic style, which frequently references traditional Scandinavian folk art. The tray is covered in fish of all sizes and shapes, decorated in different patterns and colours.
The tray costs £18.95.

The tea towel costs £10.

We've recently featured some new products based on Marianne Westman's Picknick. Another of her 1950s designs is reinterpreted here for a new market with this My Garden tray.
The tray features a pattern that was originally used on the My Garden porcelain. It shows a platter worth of fish, itself reminiscent of the Jonathan Adler's Neptune design that we featured last week. If you like this design, it's also available on a tea towel and on a cutting board.
This tray costs $28
