OBSESSED: PEDLARS

Timing is everything. And exactly why I missed out on this awesome vintage sign from Pedlar's. Looks like this ship has already sailed. A lesson in shopping for one-offs. Buy now or regret later...

However Pedlar's have even more fantastic vintage sign finds on their Vintage Live section so keep an eye out for new additions before they are gone gone gone too.

MONDAYS ARE FOR MUGS: MAKOTO KAGOSHIMA

This week's mug is a case of look-but-don't-touch. As I can't currently find Japanese ceramist Makoto Kagoshima's pieces available for sale. But a girl can dream right? Peaceful sweetness in ceramics, I'm in love:

OBSESSED: KEEP COMPANY

You're going to like these - promise. My current obsession is with Toronto based ceramicists Keep Company and their beautiful illustrations of the *best* animals. Their sweetly simple shapes and perfectly captured creatures (and who couldn't resist swans, cats, tigers and foxes?!) have put them at the very top of my wish list right now. Be quick though these are carefully handmade by Keep Company in Canada and sell out fast (as they should!). 

Keep Company Ceramics, price from $30-$90 CAD

MONDAYS ARE FOR MUGS: THE PENGUIN ONE

This week's mug is especially for warming up chilly hands on cold wintry days. Fill this fella up with something chocolate-y and warm (Bailey's optional, marshmallows obligatory). 

Penguin Bone China Mug, from Rolfe & Wills, price £12
