Lovely Things

Vintage Hovis tins from Pedlars back in stock

They've been really popular and keep selling out, but Pedlars announced on friday that they've just had another, final shipment of original Hovis bread tins. The tins were taken from the Hovis factory around the 1960s and are now available to you vintage fans to recycle for use in your own bread making, as planters, storage or whatever you like. Small tins are 18cm x 9cm x 12cm and you can grab yourself a slice (ho ho) of history at £19.50.

Creative storage ideas from A Place For Everything + discount code

Spring is here and that often means time to clean, sort and get to grips with the 'stuff' we tend to accumulate over the course of the year. If you're anything like me, throwing open the blinds to take advantage of the extra light illuminates the piles of paperwork, books and other things not really sorted out properly over the last few months.

So begins the sifting and rehoming, shredding and tidying. The process reminds me that I'm not particularly creative with my storage and I'm sure I can make it work harder for me. Also, that it'd be nice to have storage options that are attractive to look at, as well as capable of swallowing up all the things I really do want or need to keep.

Enter these lovely options from the suitably-named storage specialists, A Place For Everything. I don't have any vinyl, but am pondering some other items that would work with these handmade birch LP storage boxes (above right) from Finnish designer Harri Koskinen. At £149 each, they're not cheap, but they are a beautiful way to store your music.
