Porcelain + Cork Lunch Kit

2014-01-10

Lovely lunch kit with cork

tiffin lunch kit is a refined dining experience on the go. The two bowls, cast in durable thin-walled ceramics, stack on top of each other and seal with a cork lid that doubles as a plate. Unpacking your lunch is like unpacking a table setting: the compact kit unfolds into a meal. The bowls allow you to separate your food for combinations like curries and rice, soup and bread, granola and fruit. The set can be used in the home or carried away to work and school; or wrapped up for a picnic. Taking inspiration from Japanese bento boxes and indian tiffins, the bowls morph shape from a sturdy square bottom to a circular top. The form factor allows the bowls to fit together perfectly and intuitively. the components bind together securely with the use of a natural cloth elastic strap, held in place between the bottom bowls' feet.

Easy glass identifications for guests

They serve a great purpose, but they can be a bit unattractive. I have never found a set in the stores that I wanted to buy. So Susann, this post is for you! Here are a few ideas you may like."

Champagne cork toadstool for fairies

2014-08-04

Another corck craft for your garden!

This pritty idea comes from this lovely blog and takes us back to our childhood! 
Do you believe in fairies?

What could be nicer than making them a comfy little fairy ring of toadstools to rest their little fairy bums on?  We play with these at the bottom of the garden, or take them to the woods in the hope that they'll encourage the little sprites out to play.
