Jessie Tait

My latest 'discovery' is Jessie Tait, a fab ceramics designer who died earlier this year. Read more here. The reason I have looked into her work is because my boyfriend bought me a Jessie Tait Midwinter coffee pot for our 4 year anniversary present :o) - he had a little help from a good friend of mine and fellow ceramics enthusiast :o) It is beautiful, the pattern is like the tureen pictured below (available on Ebay). I think all of her work is beautiful so I shall be keeping my eye out for more on Ebay...

The added bonus is whilst looking for Jessie Tait images I found a new blog to follow!

Here are some more images of her designs, first one courtesy of Dee Beale's blog:

Saltdean

Saltdean near Brighton has some beautiful buildings, I have been there once as my friend lives there but I really must return and investigate further!

Firstly Saltdean Lido, image from the RIBA architecture.com website:

Then this old hotel, now converted to apartments:

And finally this building that caught my eye when I was there:

I Heart Jonathan Adler

I subscribe to Jonathan Adler emails and they always make me lust after his stuff. Best bit is they come from liberace@jonathanadler.com - Liberace is his dog! This is from the latest one!

Donna Wilson

I love Donna Wilson's creatures, they are brilliant. This little fellow is one of my favourites from her website.

I also love her cushions:

and now she has introduced ceramics! And she blogs too, what a gal!
