We have passed the equinox in the Northern hemisphere and the sun is now officially moving northwards. With spring in the air we have added some fresh new things to the shop, all designed and made in the UK, of course.

Green is… a small but important little word. Green is for GO.

We have added a book to the Simple Shape collection so this seems like a good moment to explain how we choose our stock and make decisions about what we’re going to include in the collection.

Finebone china or polished concrete. We have egg cups to last you a life time.

As the season is spring and the colour is yellow we’ve used this gratuitous link to talk about wondrous waxy lemons. They have surprising extra properties!

Never mind the ubiquitous ‘which came first’ question, the hot ‘egg’ question is actually ‘why the shape’?

Make like the Victorian’s: Spring Clean everything, especially the kitchen sink. Then reward yourself with another cup of tea.
