home: favourite thing [ stoneware pots ]

We will always encourage vintage and secondhand shopping as a way to look after the environment and to give goods a new purpose and a second life, rather than just being discarded.

The Goods In General Store has such a veritable feast of vintage delight to fill your home, it was hard to pick a favourite – but we love the victorian stoneware pots that would be great for vases, just for display on shelf, or as pot for utensils.

They say;

Everything in my shop has a story and I like it to be authentic or original. Learning the history of who made and used these objects fascinates me. I also do my best to find, fix and pass things on.

A new addition to make your table setting or shelf more beautiful. We love candle light for creating atmosphere and warmth to an interior, and these pretty shell candles from Inle Home are perfect for a fresh Spring look.

Priced from just £12-£13 they would work well in a cluster, a row or just one styled with a vase of spring flowers on a rattan tray with other chosen spring homewares – a stack of books, natural wood ornaments or marble.
