If you haven’t ever slept in Anna Craven’s sheets you quite possibly haven’t had a good night for a while! They are pure cotton and also 200 thread count. As I understand it, 200 thread count is pretty good and anything above that will not wear at all well. Those who talk about 400 thread count are probably showing off! The most popular product are the pillow cases as you can never have enough; they are all hemstitched and very attractive. However, Anna Craven manufactures top sheets, bottom sheets (both fitted and otherwise) and duvet covers in every possible size. They are all snowy

white.
The other important point is that at £8.50 for a pure cotton Oxford Pillow Case they compare very favourably with all competitors.

These decorative Storm Lanterns pr Hurricane Lamps by Beauliving come in 3 sizes and are fabulous inside or out. With their stone base they are very different to ones we have seen before and they can be filled with flowers, decorations or, of course, candles. They have a certain rustic quality with overtones of grandeur, reminding us of the Roman Empire.
We think Storm Lanterns make the best gift and are something the lucky recipient will remember forever. They start at £35 which is a great price for such a unusual decorative yet useful object.

As this Rustic Heart Recipe Stand
Rustic Heart Recipe Stand
has been incredibly popular we thought we’d just remind you about its extistence. This would look good in the kitchen, or when it’s warmer perched on a wooden table outside allowing you to do some culinary experiments whilst enjoying the beauty of your own garden. If cooking isn’t your bag, you could be reading an inspirational gardening tome whilst listening to the gentle breeze rustling the leaves.
As it is still grey and wintery we picture you enjoying it in the warmth and thanking your loved one for thinking of something subtly romantic, yet very useful. It goes well with the country kitchen which aligns well with the rustic look.

These February Cufflinks are THE adornment for the Aquarius/Pisces man or the Romeo who has stolen a lady’s heart. They are sterling silver with a Carnelian back cabuchon - shaped stone in warm orange. They won’t be found anywhere else as they are made in the UK specially for Silver Magpie.
February Cufflinks
We think they are enduring, smart and debonnair. They would suit any Jermyn Street shirt especially one with white, blue or yellow tones. They can be worn in the office and onwards, out to drinks and dinner. And at £90.00 they are a snip; he’s worth it!

People are either trouser people or they prefer the freedom of a dress! Pyjamas, or perhaps, bed-trousers feel just ever so slighly over the top; something to wear during a lazy day for comfort but too enveloping for bed and certainly not sexy.
Anna Cotton Nightdress by Ifonlyif
If you are a nightdress person who prefers to wear something akin to an extra sheet in bed, you are either white or colourful. For those eschew colour and love the snowy, white perfection of luxuriating in bed linen such as Anna Craven’s crisp cotton, its ideal partner is the Anna Cotton Nightdress by Ifonlyif. Pure yet alluring, cool but not cold. Simple yet glamorous.
Give a cotton nightdress on Valentine’s Day. Give some comfort along with your love.

What a beautiful day! After what seemed like weeks of endless darkness and grey skies, we have blue skies, bright sun and white, sparkling frost. But oh, how the cold bites, especially when out in the early morning walking with the dog.
Merino/Possum Vee Neck Plain Sweater
When I spied these Merino/Possum Vee Neck Sweaters at our Gift Fairs before Christmas I made a mistake. I did not purchase. This was because I love it too much to buy for someone else and I was on a gift finding mission. But I did feel, and I know the secret of their unique softness, different to cashmere, slightly more durable and yet every bit as pleasing and warm. One of these Merino/Possum sweaters would give an added ray of sunshine to a crisp, cold morning and huge amounts of pleasure for several years.
I urge you to take advantage of this superb offer today!

We especially like the Sage green; the unusual colour draws attention to itself in a flattering way. They would look very dramatic in a drawing room holding back cream curtains. You could add to them with our fabulous silk velvet cushions in mink and your friends will be wondering which top interiors advisor you’ve been using.

Just think how much you will be saving in these austere times by stocking up now. Anything bought under pressure is normally far more expensive – the emergency bunch of fresh flowers, for example! Instead, you could be harbouring a canvas waist cincher belt, of which i have been a proud owner for a year – I can promise you it would be a most welcome gift at any time. It is fashionable, goes with dresses, jeans, shirts and what’s more will hide a credit cart or two at a festival or any other dangerous place.
