Mondays are for Mugs: Chrissie Abbott

I think this mug pretty much sums up 2013. It's mystic. It's bright. It's slightly surreal. Oh yeah and it's got a cat on it...

Sadly I think the above design is out of stock, but the small design below is pretty darn cool too. And y'know also has 2013's spirit animals on as well. 

Magic Cat Mug small, by Chrissie Abbott, price £20 from Jaguar Shoes

The Perfect Tea Towel: Leah Duncan

This tea towel is outta this world:

Well Outer Space at least...as that is the name of this marvellous tea towel from Austin Texas based designer Leah Duncan. Whose work is described as the very pleasing 'folk meets modern'. A phrase I think I'll remember as a perfect fit for many of my favourite things.

Mondays are for Mugs: Reading is Sexy Mug

This slogan totally wins. 

A good juicy novel and a nice cup of tea are two of my favourite things. So this mug goes to top of the class. It's actually made from 100% biodegradable plastic, so it gets extra points for eco cred too. Cos, you know, it's nice to save the world sometimes. 

Also is is bad that I really want her haircut?!
