Wednesday workspace and more: Milly Goodwin

A different angle than normal - how lovely to have a daybed in your office. This office belongs to Easy Living stylist Milly Goodwin, whose home was recently featured in the Observer (see more pictures here.)

I'm extending this Wednesday workspace edition to feature a few other photos from her flat - these appeal to me a lot because it looks very similar to my home (I also live in a maisonette), and I've been wondering if I should paint my grey living room one shade darker. I'm also intrigued by the hemp sacking on the floor. Check out Milly's account of how her home came to be featured in the magazine.

London Clay Birds

London Clay Birds are made from London clay (very special, apparently) and represent one of the city's native little wrens, bluetits or robins. Ranging from £8 - £10, they would make a perfect stocking filler. There's a blog, too.

To Dry For

I met Sally and Dave from To Dry For a few weeks ago at the Midcentury Modern Fair. I was able to have one of few 'blog' moments - as I told them I had just seen their wedding (and cool M&M wedding cake) on Conversation Pieces.

Their shop sells only one thing - tea towels! I think it's a brilliant concept (and name), and as they are pretty light to post, their shipping charges are really low. I can say with conviction that there is a tea towel to suit everyone. Here are some of my favourites...

Beetroot (£10), Butterfly love (£10).

Big Breakfast (£8.50), Birdsong (£10).

Dishy (£8.50), Mr Tea Towel (another inspired name) (£8.50).

Don't fancy drying up? See these alternative uses for tea towels.

Your Willing Skin

A selection of photos available at Dublin-based Eadaoin's Etsy shop, Your Willing Skin. Find her work on her blog, and on Flickr, too.

Wednesday workspace: pinned up images

I'm honestly starting to look at workspace pictures and wonder if I've featured them before, especially when they feature neutral colours and a casually pinned collage. This one doesn't just have soft images, it has soft textures too - is that small pieces of suede I spot?
