Mine’s a pint!

Tuesday, August 23rd, 2011

We absolutely love these new additions to our shop. The ‘Pintie’ Milk Jugs are creatively upcycled from used, vintage milk bottles. Each and every jug has been hand crafted and manipulated using the highest levels of glass-making skills. The bottles for these jugs have been sourced from garages, lofts and sheds from households throughout Devon.  They are available in a range of decal designs from the 1980′s, including Kellogg’s Cornflakes, Ready Brek, Weetabix, local dairies, Crusha Milkshake, Typhoo Tea, PG Tips and many others. 

The company that produces these gorgeoius products is an environmentally aware glass-making company that specialises in unique, handcrafted recycled glassware.  Their fundamental ethos is to make the upcycling of a used glass bottle as environmentally friendly as possible – to transform a waste consumer container, destined for landfill, into a desirable and contemporary glassware product with a definite and purposeful eco stance.

There are just so many to choose from I don’t know which one I love the most!

Clock these gorgeous products!

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?!
