What’s inside Rebecca’s Cupboard?

Hello, and welcome to our last competition of 2019 – where did the year go? This month, we have a kitchen textile bundle that’s worthy of a domestic goddess… or god, for that matter!

The set – that comes complements of printmaker, Kate Guy – comprises an organic cotton tea towel, tote bag and apron in Kate’s gorgeous Rebecca’s Cupboard design.

Kate explains the inspiration behind her Rebecca’s Cupboard print:

The design is a linocut print I made of a friend’s kitchen shelves, she lives in the South of France and is an excellent cook. They grow a lot of their own produce and so she also makes lots of preserves and pickles. They have a small vineyard and make their own wine and grape juice, her husband is a keen forager; always coming home with wild mushrooms, asparagus and other local delicacies in season. Her daughter keeps bees and makes her own honey and her son is a keen fisherman, often providing a fresh wild caught trout for the lunch table. This rustic idyll is captured in this print.

If you’d love to win the bundle, tell us in our comments section below who tackles the kitchen chores in your house.

Win Village Leathers accessories

The 1st of November is All Saint’s Day, Day of the Dead and – here in Wales – Calan Gaeaf. We begin the month, as ever, with a brand new give-away; and we think you’re going to love this one! We’ll be giving one of you a trio of leather accessories from Village Leathers.

There’s a key holder, card holder and glasses case in the winner’s bundle – available in a range of gorgeous colours. You can choose matching or clashing brights or timeless classics such as black, burgundy or tan. Personally, I’ve been lusting after their Chroma yellow range – so bold & beautiful!

Village Leathers is a family business based in London and has been trading since 1974. All their items are handmade, created using top quality materials in their creaky Victorian workshop. They use all-vegetable dyes and only use leather that’s a by-product of the meat industry.

Village Leathers and H is for Home share an ethos. Here’s what they say:

I don’t think there’s anything more satisfying than a product design being so old that it rolls back into fashion.

To enter, leave us a comment below saying what things you miss or would like (or hate, if you prefer) to see come back into fashion. It could be food, TV programmes, fashion, music… I’d like to see ‘Penny for the Guy’ return and be as popular as Halloween has become!

As usual, complete all the social follows, shares etc for extra entries.

Win a leather satchel from Estarer

Did you enter our competition last September to win a canvas laptop messenger bag? Well, if you didn’t win (or even if you did!), we’ve teamed up with Estarer once again to offer a black leather satchel this time round.

In addition to the one that we’re giving away, we’ve been given another one to test drive and review.

It’s a classic satchel shape & size and is incredibly useful and versatile. It boasts both a shoulder strap and a handle depending on how you prefer to carry your bag.

Being black, it means that it will go with any outfit; it’s smart enough for the office and casual enough for a trip to the pub. It features lots of useful compartments and nooks & crannies to store your phone, writing implements and such like.

Just answer the following question to enter. What are some of the items that you always keep in your ‘everyday’ bag? Anything unusual?
