Given that it’s that time of year when thoughts turn to presents I might as well come right out and say that you could give me pretty much anything from Thornback and Peel and I would love it.
As I said a few weeks ago, I don’t tend to like animal designs too much (and then I feel head over heels for the wonderful H A M with its strong silhouettes) but I do rather love these.
I first came across their designs a few years ago when they produced the wonderful pigeon and jelly deckchair and the collection has now grown to include napkins, hankerchiefs, coasters, aprons and oven gloves.
I was going to say I’d have any of it except the oven gloves (the last man I knew that gave his wife an oven glove for Christmas ended up in the divorce courts) but then I look at this fabulous pink jelly ones and I think … no I’d take them too.
And I’ve never used cotton hankies either but I certainly have a few relatives who do so that’s that sorted then.
I love their designs, I have seen a chair covered in the pudding design and would love that in my kitchen! I have a small stash of their hankies ready as Christmas stocking fillers too.
Love their stuff! The colours, the themes and the intricacy of the designs (personally I’m quite partial to the puddings) are just fab.
