Be Very Curious






Luna & Curious, created and nurtured by the collective mind of it's eight founders presents a range of unique, beautiful, exquisitely finished objects and clothing. Creativity and originality are the driving forces at the heart of the Luna & Curious adventure, the antithesis to the mass production we have become so wearily used to, Luna & Curious offers you a world of delights...

Iridescent feathers swing from your neck, whilst porcelain butterflies watch on. There are angry dogs and strange creatures, a treasure trove of lost antiques and embroidery that skips the surface, there is the beautiful and the odd, a wardrobe filled with riches and a little something for the sweet tooth...

Be very curious.

Le Chien Et Moi






An emporium of the unusual and beautiful, Le Chien Et Moi houses both old and new objects with a touch of nostalgia. How I miss the wag of Mulberry's (Le Chien herself) tail and chats with Pip (the proprietor) on my weekly visits to this shop when I once lived in Nottingham.

Kitsch Kitchen




Kitsch Kitchen is the result of what happens when you fuse Dutch Design with Mexican Folklore. It's a visual paradise of neon hues, household utensils, plastic picnicware and accessories. Heaven.

Because I love all things colourful, quirky and kitsch I thought you may do too.

Fable Foundations





An interior architect, decorator and collector of objects ni[D] prides herself in the simple eccentricity of her ever expanding collection of cushions. Each design evokes a dark and mysterious setting, where eclectic scenes drawn by hand contain surreal and superstitious foundations. Lucid emulsions and acid tints invite you to pay closer attention to the individual pieces, whilst elements of crochet however big or small yearn to be touched by the viewer.

Five Pound Find



I awoke early this morning to the cawing cries of magpies and crows which reminded me that I must post some images of my latest five pound find. I am quite in love with this little black swan bought for £1 which has been added to my ever growing collection of dark and mysterious birds.

The turquoise teapot was a bargain for only £4 and filled with red tulips it sits quite happily next to my bedroom window. What do you guys think?
