Have you been watching Nigella Express?

Have you been watching Nigella Express? We have and as well as the receipes we love this gorgeous new tableware range called Wonki Ware created by Nigella in collaboration with South African potter Di Marshall. It includes everything for the table - from dinner plates to stylish water jugs. Created and decorated by a small team each piece is individually hand made and has a ghost of a pattern, achieved by applying lace to the surface of the clay before firing. The irregular shapes and home made appearance gives it a truly unique charm and rustic feel which makes it perfect for everyday use and informal dining. Made of stoneware with a lightly applied off-white glaze it is dishwasher, microwave and oven proof. Only available in relatively small quantities at present, fortunately you can find it at Beth Stevens to pre-order for when it arrives later next month.

Smarten up your breakfast table with these new additions to Rachel Barker's creamware range.

We have been keen fans of Rachel Barker's very collectable ceramics for a long time. Her fresh and contemporary designs give a modern twist to traditional English creamware which look perfect in any setting. Just launched are two new additions to her ever expanding range - a lidded pot - for jam - sugar - or any number of other uses and a very useful butter dish. Available in most of her popular designs (both classic ... think Coriander, fineline, crabapple et al and also the fabulous geometric shapes of madras, kasha and oyster) they are priced at £18.95 and £27.95 respectively. Smarten up your breakfast act - with these around there is simply no excuse for having the plastic spread tub on display! Available online at Beth Stevens (023 92 51 3722)

PS. The bottom shelf has some pieces from Rachel's fantastic new blue and cream range - Cranesbill - more about that later!

Maison Belle - Eco friendly washing up liquid and cleaning products - safe to the environment and the people who use them!

Lets face it most people hate cleaning and searching out products with eco credentials during the busy weekly shop is probably not at the forefront of our minds! However, Isabella Smith in a quest to find truly effective, eco friendly cleaning products, in attractive packaging has done the job for us and developed Maison Belle, a decidedly gorgeous range of her own! All the products are biodegradable, made from natural ingredients whenever possible and fragranced with beautiful, fresh smelling essential oils. To reinforce their eco credentials they are also come in recyclable PET bottles. All the Maison Belle range are non-toxic (meeting the strict UK HSE standards for non-toxic household cleaners) and safe around children and pets. You won't find the orange hazard symbols on these products!! All this and they work incredibly well too, due to a special IC4 extract.

The range includes Apple and Thyme dishes; Orange and Rosemary dishes; Marigold and Green Tomato kitchen cleaner; Green tea and Sage glass cleaner; and Lavender and Mint bathroom cleaner ...... we think these are the loveliest cleaning products around and certainly the best smelling - there are no nasty chemical, synthetic floral or pine fragrances, normally assoicated with cleaning products, here! Isabella has thought of every detail and with attractive retro inspired packaging you won't want to hide these under the kitchen sink. Priced from £3.95 for 500ml they are available online or mail order through Beth Stevens who can also set up a regular monthly delivery service directly to your door to ensure you never run short!
