Peculiar porcelain...

Quirky teaware by Natalia Gruszecka of Endesign. These little milk jugs have such expressive little legs I'd be concerned they'd scuttle across the table when I'm not looking.

They remind me a little of my favourite Blaue blume bowl. I've scrubbed the "sugar" off mine and use it as a butter dish. 

And now a selection of other quirky tea sets:

Stylish celebrations...

As it is my birthday and the weather is divine, and next year I should have a garden, I thought I'd daydream about being grown-up and having a proper celebration. Some magical dining inspiration:

Chair Tuesday...

An assortment of rare and odd seating from my 4am web browsing adventures, because you shouldn't just sit on any old thing...

Coffee: Gangnam Style...

Heeeeeeey sexy latte!

Mood lighting Monday...

A Chadwick candlestick is high on my wish list, there are loads of exciting examples floating around, but I still think they win.

Sunday supper...

Enhance even a cereal-based culinary experience with a quirky dining table. Cheaper than a sculpture. Sometimes.

And if you need your furniture a little more interactive, these amazing heat sensitive "Linger a little longer" bench sets by Aussie designer Jay Watson will make every meal fun. And possibly encourage you to lose weight.

Super supper...

The Pale Blue Door is back. If you're in London and fancy a laugh, I heartily recommend it. Ok, so the food isn't great (rubberiest beef ever!), the included wine is undrinkable and it's quite expensive, but it's a fantastic way to spend an evening (especially if you head to Passing Clouds afterwards!) 

For the uninitiated, you book a place at dinner, turn up to Tony's house in Dalston, which is "Shoreditched" to within an inch of its life, and then enjoy the dinner, chat and party with the other diners whilst Tony and friends do a drag show. Half art installation half pop up restaurant, all giggle.

                           

We tried on all the clothes, which it turns out you're not meant to do, but if you're quick there are some fun photos to be had.

Then to work off the heavy dinner, skip down the lane to Passing Clouds and jiving till 3
