Spruce up for spring.....
Although we've been wearing ankle-skimming trousers and pastel-coloured macs since mid-February, yesterday was the first day we weren't shivering. This can mean only one thing - long-awaited spring, season of hope and expectation, is just around the corner.
And while we've definitely got our wardrobes in spring mode, our apartments are still in need of a little spruce. Step forward CultureLabel.com - your one-stop-shop for unique cultural products, and purveyor of all things, erm, springy.
Give a little love:
Damien Hirst silkscreen print, limited edition of 50
According to John, Paul, Ringo and now Damian: 'all you need is love'. A mantra for all seasons maybe, but spring gives one's eye an extra-special glint, no?
White rabbit (wonderland not included):
Hand cast white porcelain rabbit by Shan Valla
With all this glinting of eyes, our thoughts inevitably to that other season staple - the small, the fluffy and the newborn. If the real deal is a little too much why not invest in a porcelain version straight from the studio.
First flowers:
Slimline vase for a single stem
Nothing fills our hearts with more joy than the first flowers of spring... Except probably an artist-designed vase to put them in.
Just in case....
COLOUR CHANGING UMBRELLA
Brighten even the rainiest of day with this colourful brolly.
Look. We're not pessimists, we're realists. There's a difference.
