Jonathan Adler Ceramics

@ the utterly brilliant online shop/ blog Castor + Pollux (also a real shop on the sea-front in Brighton!) I've featured these guys a couple of times now with their Angie Lewin prints and Jackie Brazil jewellery, but now I've found a new love - Jonathan Adler! His beautiful ceramics have a very fifties feel to them if you like that period. Mr Adler is another US outfit that I hope follows the pack along with Anthropologie and Kate Spade and brings his fabulous wares to our shores! See below pics to swoon over! (all available at Castor + Pollux).

Papermash!

There are some top stationery gift ideas for Christmas on Papermash. A one stop shop for cool stationery, cards, gift tape (and they also very generously do very nice free downloadble craft projects)...

...you can also check out the wonderful Tea for Joy blog, written by the lovely Lynne (owner of Papermash)

Perpetual Wall Calendar!

I've been searching around for a decent wall calendar for some time now, and now I've found it - this is a great variation on the perpetual calendar theme. You can either chalk on birthdays/ meetings etc or add post it notes! There are some great wall decals out there, but Fern Living are my favorites!

Presents for Film Geeks...

...save or splurge options below. First up (splurge), rather fantastic set of Almodóvar, esspresso cups for Illy Art Collection. These are very faithful to the bold artwork that you see in the film credits of Almodóvar's colourful films. The Penelope Cruz one is esp cute! Next up, is slightly cheaper super Moleskin film journal. Can be dutifully filled in over the Christmas holidays (after the turkey's been demolished, the mulled wine's been fully slurped and all the reles have decamped back to home quarters!)
