1950s Leather Dog Footstool

I bookmarked this lovely little 1950s dog footstool at Mid Mod last year for a future post. Secretly I was hoping that a miracle would happen and I'd be able to purchase it before writing this post. Damn bookmarks, the dog has obviously sold and now a bull is parked in its place at Mid Mod Design. Click the link and see for yourself! Luckily I pulled off the one pic, I am gutted it's gone, it was one of the nicest old dogs that I have ever seen.

Cute Ceramic Rabbit Vase

This cute rabbit vase from Sprout Home can be used as a vase or a pitcher. I can see the ears getting damaged in our house, it would become a cute earless rabbit vase!

Bone China Ceramics by Caroline Swift

These gorgeous bone china ceramics are hand crafted in England by the super talented Caroline Swift. Caroline worked for Benetton in knitwear design for 20 years, in 2003 she gave up her job taught English in Sri Lanka and India. On returning to the UK she reconnected with her passion for design and started designing cakes. This led her to an interest in plates and curiosity then led her to produce her own range.
