Together with Portmeirion, Sophie Conran has created a range of stylish and practical cookware and kitchenware.

The collection reflects Sophie’s sparkling personality and appreciation of innovative craftsmanship. Best of all, they are unbelievably versatile. Every piece can not only go from oven to table but any left overs can be popped in the freezer and the whole range is dishwasher proof.

Everything comes beautifully gift boxed and is available in white, celadine blue and, new for 2008, sage green – the ideal gift for any occasion especially a wedding.

As one of the most comprehensive on-line stockists of soft furnishings from Swedish company Linum, we would like to present a selection from their 2008 Spring Range.

OCEAN is reminiscent of all things coastal. Blue from the deepest navy to sky blue mixed with a lot of white, beiges and browns in classic small checks and wider stripes.

Mixed in with OCEAN is a selection from their SAND range incorporating sharp limes and cool turquoises and pale blues with sandy browns.

As always we sell Linum fabrics by the metre on-line and New for 2008, Linum bed linen in blue checks and beige stripes. Fabulous hand quilted bed covers in milk chocolate and white are also available.

Linum co-ordinates across the range bringing together an amazing selection of table and kitchen linen that compliments cushions, throws and fabrics. creating a classic Scandinavian look for your home.

This season we will also have, on-line, classic fabrics and oilcloth by the metre.

Later in the summer we will showcase Greengates’s Melamine picnic ware which we have brought back because of the huge demand last year.
