Clock these gorgeous products!

Thursday, February 3rd, 2011

We are so excited by the fantastic new products that have arrived this week by the award winning designer Becky Broome. Becky graduated from Manchester Metropolitan University with a BA (Hons) in Embroidery in 2009. Her aim is to design quirky kitchen textiles and homewares and these products are inspired by British ephemera. The Co-op textile prints brought back memories of both my grandmother and mother having Co-op savings accounts as well as saving the Co-op stamps. Just love the quirkyness of the design and the use of something from the past being used in a fresh new way for the present day.

The pocket watch cushions are also a beautiful item which will enhance any sofa or bed and again their quirky design will bring a fresh look to your home furnishings this season. All of Becky’s products are made here in the UK with the highest quality materials. Now how many cushions can I fit on my sofas?!
