Since I’m not allowed a real-live pug these cute Pug Bookends might have to do…

DIA

dia parrot nodesign lightbox frame DIA

It’s my birthday in one week and the DIA lightbox frame is at the top of my wish list.

Super slick, sexy and all-round very cool, your photos are projected onto the transparent high-res LCD screen which gives the quality of a digital Ektachrome®. Images can be automatically uploaded with wifi or literally *wait for it* flicked across from an iPad or iPhone. Stunning. I wonder if they’re planning on producing larger format frames?

1882 LTD

Emily Johnson’s ceramic lights are beautiful. Hand crafted and made of Fine Bone China, 1882 has links back to Wedgwood and the original English ceramist’s of the late 1800s.

1882ltd.com is a slick little site worth checking out, especially if you fancy a rather interesting read about the history of pottery in the north of England.

Habitat

I saw this Timbuktu kids’ dinnerware at Habitat over the weekend and thought it was really cool. I’m pretty sure it would make eating much more fun as well!

Oh! I am in love with these Kiki Grinders by London based design company Wireworks.

Slick, stylish and oh so pretty, I’d choose tall and black for a pepper grinder and short and natural for salt.

Find them at The Conran Shop in South Kensington.

“Play”

19th March 2012

play video memo native union Play

Native Union’s ”Play” might possibly be the coolest thing I’ve seen all year. This magnetic video-memo device lets you record up to 4 hours worth of messages, with each message up to 3 minutes long.

Coming in 8 different speech-bubble colours, I can’t think of anything more sexy or fun to stick to your fridge!

I know we’re already well into March, but this Ferm LIVING Calendar Wall Sticker is pretty cool, although I think I’d need some more space for writing!

Here’s a sneak peek at the bird mobile I made for my amazing little nephew Maddox.

I found a woman in town who can laser cut almost anything, so I’m thinking mobiles might have to be next on my project list. Keep a look-out on the BringMeJoyStore.

(And if you didn’t guess, that’s Maddox wearing his dimples! l.o.v.e.)

Happy Friday!

Oh! The crazy illustrations and gorgeous colours of Shine Shine fabrics are bea-ut-i-ful.

I like this Restore storage basket made of recycled PET bottles. Too bad it costs £75!

bobble water filter bottles ♥ Bobble

A few weeks ago I wrote about how beautiful Bobble Water Jugs were, but today it’s about how awesome the Bobble customer service is.

Si got a Bobble bottle for his birthday and we thought it was really cool, until the lid started to split for no apparent reason. It seemed so strange that I wrote to them and asked about it and you know what? They replied with a really nice email and sent us a replacement straight away.

Great customer service = customers for life. Thank you Bobble!

GreenZero Chargers

greenzero chargers bracketron GreenZero Chargers

Eco-friendly chargers are nothing new, but I thought these GreenZero charges by Bracketron were particularly cool. Green for the home, black for travel.

They detect when your device is fully charged and in turn shut off the incoming power. Good for the environment, good for you.
