sweet william designs

I do love a freebie...and I love tea...so I was stupidly excited when I unwrapped this fabulous mug from personalised pottery legends, Sweet William Designs. Emma set up the business to explore her love for pottery, she now sells online, at country fairs and stocks on one of my favourites, Not On The High Street. She designs quintessential English ceramics with typical English humour, from tea pots to dog bowls. You can choose from her gorgeous designs or create your own, they make the ideal gift for someone in the UK, just order online and Emma will send it beautifully gift wrapped for you. Have a browse here, I'm off to make a cup of tea.

What more could one want? The Berkeley asked their Prêt-à-Portea fans to vote on their favourite item to nibble on...1,700 people responded (thats a lot of nibblers) and top of the list came the sparkly, red soled Christian Louboutin, of course. They are celebrating 5 years of their hugely popular afternoon tea with a 'Greatest Hits' collection based on the voted goodies. Transport me to London now please, I'd like to nibble on Mr Loubs sparkly shoe.
