Stripy Paper Straws from Pipli

Green-stripy-paper-straws
Sometimes it's the smallest details which make the difference and these Stripy Paper Straws from Pipli do just that, adding a dash of vintage flavour to tableware for summer weddings, picnics and parties.

Paper straws in pastel shades have a retro feel that plastic just can't match. Add to milkshakes for a fifties diner feel or give that Long Island Iced Tea the appearance of something far more innocent.

The straws are available in a range of designs including red, blue, grey and yellow stripes. A pack of 25 costs £2.65. They are 100% biodegradeable and compostable, so eco-friendly too.

If you want to entirely replace your crockery in one go, then this Folkware Crockery Set could be of interest.

It has been designed and made in Italy, but the patterns are very much in the Scandinavian folk art style. The set comprises of six of each of side plates, dinner plates and soup bowls.  Its quite a big purchase, costing £245 for the set, but less hassle than individually picking out pieces here and there.  Serving platters are also available in two sizes, priced £45 and £65.

Julia Davey VW Vans & Caravans Ceramics

Vw%20jug%201_0 
Julia Davey has produced a small collection VW Vans & Caravans Ceramics, similar in style to her Retro Robot Ceramics we featured in the past.

This collection currently consists of a jug, a mug and a bowl, although other items may be added in the future. The designs start off as pen and ink drawings which are then scanned and transferred onto the ceramics. A particularly nice touch is that as well as the design on the outside, there is a van or caravan on the inside of the piece too. The bowl costs £16, mug £17 and jug £19.
