Robert Gillmor – Little Egret Cushion by We Love Cushions

£33.49

This beautiful Little Egret Cushion is based on Robert Gillmor’s iconic artwork, and would work well in a garden-room, sitting-room or bedroom.

The Little Egret has only lately become a familiar sight in the UK and can now be found along the south coast and in East Anglia.  Depicted here stalking a fish and no doubt holding its leg perfectly still, the Little Egret eats mostly fish (though amphibians, small reptiles, mammals and birds as well as crustaceans, molluscs and insects should all be vigilant when this bird is at large).

The Little Egret Cushion is an ideal house-warming gift for young and old alike.  The design is printed on the front of the cushion and the cover closes with a concealed zip.

Dimensions: 40 x 50cm • 100% Cotton/Linen Cover • Machine Washable • Removable Fibre Pad • Pad and cover are separately wrapped

Tortoise Plate by Cheeky Jack

Exclusively designed by Cheeky Jack, this beautiful Tortoise plate features an exquisitely drawn tortoise, the UK’s much loved pet.  The tortoise is a creature which knows how to take its time and, presumably, appreciate its surroundings.  After a busy morning in autumn locating your recalcitrant reptile ready for hibernation, surely you deserve a leisurely cuppa?  The perfect accompaniment to coffee is a slice of cake on a perfect plate, and the Tortoise plate is just the job.

Made from fine bone china, this is a coupe plate meaning it is shallow without a lip, drawing the eye in towards the food served on it or, the beautiful design in its centre.  At 22cm diameter the Tortoise plate is ideal for cake, sandwiches or nouvelle cuisine.

£19.99

This beautiful Baby Robins plate is exclusively designed by Cheeky Jack.  Reproduced here in stylish black and white, the chicks lack the signature red breast of their parents and are spotted with golden brown until they mature.  Once fledged the chicks continue to receive parental support, and robins have even been known to feed the chicks of other species including thrushes and blackbirds!  Here at Bee Eater HQ (where three robins frequent the garden) we love nothing better than a leisurely cuppa, with the perfect accompaniment – a slice of cake on a perfect plate, and the Baby Robins plate is just the job.

£16.99

Made by Ulster Weavers from 100% cotton the Butterfly House apron shows butterflies designed with great imagination; the unusual and intriguing details, shapes, colours and textures reflect organic forms found in nature.  Butterflies naturally feed on nectar from garden and hedgerow flowers but will also be drawn in by fruit feasts left out by amateur lepidopterists (that’s butterfly fanciers to you and me!).

Great for protecting you from food and spills in the kitchen, the Butterfly House apron has adjustable neck and waist ties.

The perfect cover-up for all flamboyant chefs and an ideal gift for hosts and hostesses alike.  And for the ultimate in coordinated cookery, why not pair the apron with the Butterfly House Tea Towel or Double Oven Glove?

Cranes Apron by Ulster Weavers

£16.99

Designed and made by Ulster Weavers from 100% cotton, this Cranes apron depicts groups of Common Cranes (Grus Grus) in black and white against a bright turquoise background.

In Chinese mythology, the Crane is a symbol of longevity and peace, and was depicted on the robes of Imperial civil servants to indicate rank.  Statuesque at almost 4ft tall, they’ve been known to fly at nearly 33,000ft – about the height you fly on an airliner!  Though extinct in Britain for many years, happily, Cranes were successfully reintroduced to Norfolk in the late seventies.

Great for protecting you from food and spills in the kitchen, the Cranes apron has adjustable neck and waist ties.

The perfect cover-up for all flamboyant chefs and an ideal gift for hosts and hostesses alike.

Block Print Rabbit Tea Towel by Ulster Weavers

£8.99

For clean dishes and a clear conscience this is the tea towel of choice. Designed and produced by Ulster Weavers, it’s made from unbleached cotton with labels printed on FSC card using vegetable inks.

Beetles Tea Towel by Ulster Weavers

£8.99

For clean dishes and a clear conscience this is the tea towel of choice. Designed and produced by Ulster Weavers, it’s made from unbleached cotton with labels printed on FSC card using vegetable inks.

There may be 4,000 odd beetle species in the UK but few of them are welcomed into a kitchen with open arms.  We feel however that this selection is soooo stylish that an exception should be made!  The Beetles Tea Towel shows eight fantastical beetles, all with the requisite number of body parts, moving in a close formation against a background of acidic yellowy green which will dazzle.  Far too good to do dishes, we think it would make a smart wall-hanging!

An appealing gift, for house-warming and other special occasions.
