Friday Afternoon - TEA TIME

Once again the weekend will soon be upon us (cheer's all round! :D) and when deterring away from work I found another fantastic little tea accessory: Submarine Tea Infuser!

I'm guessing its based upon The Beatles Yellow Submarine song but since I'm not a Beatles fan I'm taking it as face value; a brand new totally awesome idea for people like me who enjoy random objects around the house (esp to do with tea and being typically English) which may have very little use.

Can be packed with tea leaves (the best option to complete the product) or tea bags for those forgot to buy leaves.



Best Price I found: Play.com £6.99

TeaCup Pig

One of the cutest, most adorable things, Teacup Pigs.
When fully grown they are the size of a small cat and weight around 65lb and live up to 18 years. You can ever litter train them and all they need is food, water, exercise and lots of love and play, just like a dog. The downfall? They are £500-700 but the cuteness out weighs the price.

Imagine a little piggy running around the house. Sweet.

Plush Fruit and Veg

In the new Ikea Catalog I noticed these brilliant Plush Fruit and Veg Baskets. Made for kids of course but that doesn't stop me loving them, nor the fact that I have no clue what I would do with them. Maybe they could just sit proudly in the Kitchen, a nice talking point...??



Also available: Plush Dessert set / Plush Breakfast

Truffle Shuffle

Its has been many years since I first fell in love with Truffle Shuffle. My search for 80's/90's T-Shirts to remind myself of my fav TV/Films/Games as a child and now to match perfectly with my love of 80's music (Oh Wham! how I love you) and films (Molly Ringwald rocks) started when looking at American sites with their oh-so-over priced delivery charges meant I was very excited when I found our own British 80's Tee's shop! With a selection to really bring back good times, here's a few of my fav online now:


Where Truffle Shuffle originated from: Good old Goonie Chunk whose belly can make anyone laugh. Great Film.


A personal favourite as Beauty and the Beast was my first Disney film and therefore holds a special place in my heart.



 I love that someone has thought of this, wear it around Twlight fans and see what reaction you get. 



Because Daddy I Do!


Reliving the Hungry Hippos memories.





 Another reference to Beauty and the Beast with this little Charmer. Mrs Potts and Chip side by side as it should be in this beautiful necklace.

Shower, Shave and Hula?

The shower curtain has long been an object which allows a bit of kitsch and colour into many single coloured bathrooms, but the days off looking at the fish or studying the world map while cleaning yourself up is being replaced by the influx of plain white or plastic 'shower guards'. But ladies and gentleman luckily for us some smart people have created some very unique designs.

Transform the bathroom into a island paradise with the hula lady brightening up your morning shower, and maybe get you in the mood for dancing.

Or for the lads return to childhood with the cowboy curtain and take on the wild west, YeeHa!
