We’ve had some lovely giveaways over the past couple of weeks and people have been delighted with their prizes.

Denise Corcoran was the winner of May’s competition and will shortly be receiving her prize of a set of Nest 5 goodies from Joseph Joseph and Mary Anne De Sousa was thrilled with her prize  from our Facebook competition which was a pink Paul Frank bag.

Spotted

Wednesday, August 25th, 2010

Well we have been busy spotting a few items this week and on BBC2 The Great British Bake Off was awash with our products. When I could take my eyes off of the scrummy biscuits and scones I spied the Emma Bridgewater Union Jack Biscuit Barrel, the Emma Ball Designer Tea Time Tin Biscuit Barrel, the Emma Ball Tea Time Biscuit Tins and Emma Bridgewater Hearts Cake Tins. All are such fabulous and gorgeous tins for storing all those scrummy and cakes.

Spotted

Another set of ‘Spotted’ items this week. On this week ‘s Location Location (which we love!) we spotted three of our fabulous items. The first one we ‘spotted’ was the Cream Enamel Bread Bin and I think the combination of the fab retro look and the neutral colour makes it a really popular choice. And then we ‘spotted’ the eternal favourite Emma Bridgewater Polka Dot Cake Tins and it has to be said the combination of style and the quality of any Emma Bridgewater product means many a house in the land can boast a piece of Bridgewater. The polka dot design has an enduring appeal and the tins look fabulous in either a contemporary or more traditional setting. The final ‘spotted’ was the Cath Kidston Large Spray Flowers Crush China Mug which is just so pretty and holds a great size cup of tea and allows plenty of dunking space for your digestive biscuit.

British Sandwich Week

Tuesday, May 11th, 2010

I love all these national weeks that occur during the year and as a sandwich lover I raise a wholemeal triangle in recognition of the ‘British Sandwich Week’ which is from 9th-15th May.

They are definitely a well loved British institution which should be celebrated with a round of cucumber sandwiches. The fourth Earl Of Sandwich gave his name to this British lunchtime, teatime, in fact anytime tradition in 1762 and we’ve been munching away ever since.

The joy of a sandwich is you can make it as healthy and wholesome as you like or the complete opposite and expose yourself to the delights of peanut butter, chocolate spread and bacon. Oh the joy of a bacon sandwich….yum…sorry I was lost in my thoughts there for a moment!

The second crucial thing in a sandwich is the transportation of said item to school, to work, to your picnic and so on. We’ve got a large range of lunch boxes available especially for children of which The Gruffalo Tin Lunch Box and Dinosaur Tin Lunch Box are two of the favourites.  Little girls love the Gisela Graham Fairy Tea Party Lunch Bag and the Emma Bridgewater Dancing Mice Lunch Box. For the adults the Union Jack Tin Lunch Box is popular along with the Emma Ball Designer Tea Time Lunch Tin.
