Lolita Hand Painted Bird Cups from Nkuku

Just when you thought he never would, the sun has put his hat on. It's a pretty flimsy hat, but that just makes me all the more determined to enjoy being outside while I can.

Finding Nkuku has got me all excited about lazing around in the good weather with my favourite people and slurping something cold and refreshing (preferably with a healthy dollop of gin in it).

All I needed was some sexy enamelware to finish the picture, and Nkuku have got it in spades.

Their Lolita range is fresh and vibrant without being too complicated. It's basically just pretty birds in pretty colours, and that sort of chills me out just by looking at it.

To top it off, Nkuku's ethos is all about being Fair Trade and environmentally sound, so you can feel secure in the knowledge that, no matter how small, you are making a difference.

This is part of the reason why I'm so astonished by the value-for-money klaxon that went off in my head while I browsed the range. Their cups are £6.50 each, and they also do bowls for the same price, and jugs and trays for slightly more.

Postage? Just £2.95 for UK mainland. Yeah, Nkuku are awesome.
