What a lovely lot of bright, cheerful Rice melamine dishes! And I’m in love with the yellow dishwasher. I’ve looked on the internet to see if I could find it but the closest I came to it is this compact model available at John Lewis.
This photo makes me almost look forward to tackling the washing up… almost!
We picked up this fabulous vintage camping stove last week.
It was produced by Primus of Sweden in the 1960s/70s.
It’s a great colour and design, folding up to form a handy carry case.
We mentioned in our recent Bookmarks review of My Cool Campervan that we’re hoping to get our own campervan sometime in the not too distant future.
We’ve actually started doing some campervan collecting… starting a campervan ‘bottom drawer’ – or ‘hope chest’ – to our American, Canadian and New Zealand readers.
The stove’s now been added to it.
It contains all kinds of stuff – well designed, cheerfully decorated and unbreakable (or at least exceedingly robust).
We’ve got kettles and teapots…
…and lots of melamine plates & bowls.
There are drinking vessels in all sizes & shapes.
We reckon there’ll be lots of tea drinking…
…and with all that tea we’ll obviously be eating lots of cake.
…and when we run out of cake we’ll have to resort to mere bread!
We’ve got lots of cosy blankets for when it’s a bit chilly…
…and deck chairs for when its sunny.
Will there be any space left in the campervan for us?
We’re in the middle of a long, dry, sunny spell … by Pennine standards at least!
And here’s the ideal thing for this perfect summer holiday weather.
This fantastic, French 1950s picnic table & chairs has just gone into our pitch at Picture House Antiques.
The wooden table collapses to form a carry case – and the metal & canvas chairs fold up inside – great for picnics, camping or in the garden.
And of course you’ll also need picnic blankets, coolers, baskets, indestructible crockery, sun loungers and stuff for the beach.
Check out the Great Outdoors section in our H is for Home web shop for similar stuff.
We picked up this fab 60s/70s lounger at a market recently.
The metal frame and period fabric are both in great condition.
We also bought a couple of striped deckchairs from the same stall.
We’ve been stocking up on outdoor items for our shop, ready for the summer.
Here’s just a selection – and what a blast of colour!
