Fishs Eddy has crossed the Atlantic!

Very excited that my absolute favorite New York Store Fishs Eddy has opened a department within Liberty. I ADORE this shop, I found it by accident whilst shopping in Union square 4 years ago, and ever since then it is the first place I head when in NY (after starbucks for a green tea lemonade of course).
Last autumn I took my parents there (pic below) and got my mum hooked on it's fabulous homeware too. My favorite purchases are my brooklyn 'cawfee' mugs and my leaf shaped cookie cutters, but if i could kit out my kitchen with everything fishs eddy then i'd be a happy lady. The only store in the UK i've ever found remotely similar is Utility in Brighton. The sad thing is I fear this will be another Anthropology situation, whereby I waited years for the store to open here, and when it did, prices were beyond extortionate.

Find Fishes Eddy in the dining section of Liberty, I can't wait to check it out!

Utility Chic

Nowhere inspires me to blog quite as much as Brighton and my last trip was no exception when I stumbled upon Utility.

This treasure trove of WW2 era functional kitchen/dinning ware is such a treat. Think Fishes Eddy NYC meets traditional hardware store. The owners are so lovely and friendly, and are clearly passionate about what they do and the little world they are aiming to create

I wanted to buy everything in sight but unfortunately would not have been able to carry everything back to London so I have wisely decided to wait for the launch of their online shop(which I am eagerly anticipating), so I can go crazy!

My favorites were the selection of Enamel dishes & mugs and amzing Tea towls.

What do you do with 100 Courgettes?

We planted loads of courgette plants earlier this year thinking some wouldn't grow. They all grew. Massively!Plus, I had no idea each courgette plant would produce so many vegetables! So now we have literally tons of them!

So far, I have made courgette cake, lemon courgettes, and courgette fritters. I can tell I'm going to maybe get sick of the sight of them! In the meantime, anyone have any nice recipies?

I don't care if she's a tape dispenser...

I want this mug in my life! it makes me smile everytime I read it.

Today I love...Portobello road

Got up bright and early this morning to go to Portobello road market and picked up these gorgeous victorian marmalade and paste pots. Think i may make a candle out of the smaller one.

I also picked up some really pretty old glass bottles which look so nice on my kitchen window.
