Saying goodbye to summer doesn't have to be sad!
I'm looking forward to some fresher-feeling air, misty mornings, mushroom picking, and all that cosiness by the fire. If you want to embrace nature and its ever-changing seasons and create the cosiest nest possible this Autumn, we have some gorgeous retro ceramics in warm hues that really reflect the beauty of this time of year. Think rustling orange leaves and all the creatures that scurry and flutter amongst them.
Support small businesses this autumn
We're all for keeping plastic waste to a minimum here, especially when it comes to seasonal decorating and gift-giving. So, instead of heading to the big supermarkets for all that plastic autumn decor, we think it's better to invest in a few high-quality pieces to complement your home, not overwhelm it. I also try to choose natural materials over plastic, so I pick up fallen branches and pinecones on my walks to create that warm, cosy feeling in my home.
Hibernating Hedgehogs
First off, these adorable Ceramic Hedgehog Salt and Pepper Shakers are perfect for the season! Here to warm the hearts of dinner guests with their beady eyes and sweet button noses, these little guys will be getting ready to hibernate with you. Browse the full collection here.
Red Squirrels
The UK's native Red Squirrel comes in Salt and Pepper and Egg Cup form, don't y'know!? You certainly can't get more autumnal than this. We all wish we could see more of them hopping between branches in the wild. But for now, this
Salt and Pepper and
Egg Cup set will bring some chirpy forest flavour to the dinner and breakfast table. Check out the
Red Squirrel Hanging Decoration too!
Toadstools
There's something magical about the woodland in Autumn... the smell of the air, the colour of the leaves... For me, it's all the weird and wonderful mushrooms that start growing out of the decaying foliage. Trying to find and identify them makes a walk so much more fun! If you're a fungi-fan too, our ceramic
Toadstool kitchen designs are brilliantly collectable for a seasonal, yet retro-feeling table. The
Toadstool Salt and Peppers are the real stars, and now that we'll be having more Sunday roasts, they look wonderful sitting amongst plates, serving bowls, candles, and beside a seasonal centrepiece!
For Halloween
For Halloween decorations, the Hare Egg Cup is perfect. The hare is a mysterious animal in the UK, often associated with witchcraft and shapeshifting… and this one's taken the form of an Egg Cup, for now…
We also have black and white cats, wolves, and owls that will bring some witchy magic to mealtimes!
We have brand new designs this Autumn
Autumn in our 35th year of business brings our new blackbird flying trio, whose black and yellow colours are perfectly suited for darker days. So, maybe with a cosy home full of ceramics that embrace the season, it won't be so bad letting go of summer.
If you have any ideas for designs you'd like to see in the future, then do send us an email with your suggestions! We're already working on a couple of designs that our customers have suggested.
