Sanderson 1950s-style Dandelions design now available as a rug
Sanderson's Dandelion design has proved to be amazingly popular. Their 1950s take on florals has itself been much imitated: in fact we mentioned it just last week in relation to the Next Alpine Meadow range.
Fans of the design will be pleased to hear that they are now producing it on a rug, a classy tufted wool number in the blue/green colour combination.
The price? Well, you know it's not going to be bargain basement. It's available for £595 but will hopefully keep on looking stylish for years to come.

Karlsson Spider wall clock
We've previously featured all kinds of attractive retro clocks that have come courtesy of Karlsson. This Spider Clock is no exception to the rule.
It features chrome tips that radiate out from the clock face, each covered in brightly coloured balls. In fact, it's quite similar to George Nelson's classic Vitra Ball clock.
However, the Karlsson version is available on a budget, costing just £35.

Make-do-and-Mend with John Lewis
Surprisingly for a department store, John Lewis are encouraging their customers to be frugal this autumn. They're tapping into the Make-do-and-Mend trend this autumn and with a small booklet and practical classes at selected stores.
Their booklet is a collection of top thrift tips collected from their employees, rather than the reprint from the Imperial War Museum featured earlier this year. They've done a great job in packaging it up in retro style using lovely line drawings to illustrate the tips. It's on sale in their shops for £3, with all money going to John Lewis Foundation.
The classes take place at four selected John Lewis shops at end of this month and over October and they are encouraging you to bring along any clothes and accessories in need of updating. The classes are free to attend, though apparently you will be charged for materials used.
