Like tea, only better

Cosy knits for your tea - tea + knitting = The Best. Sure, you could pay $15 for this, but I reckon it’d be pretty easy to knit yourself.
Hanger tea - because teaspoons are for losers and those stupid strings always end up in the cup
Typewriter teapot - God, yes. I just love that this exists. Of course, I couldn’t buy it until I had a room full of curios otherwise the other kitchen implements would bully it (I think I watched Sword In The Stone one too many times whilst growing up).
Pretty little milk jug - this doesn’t go with anything I own either, but I still want it devilish bad.
Pure unadulterated grade-A awesomeness

Unborn children of mine take note: this is what your future holds.
I’d rather have the Lego version, to be honest.
Waterfall sink - like an infinity pool in your kitchen. Yes please.
As good a motto as any.
Finally, a use for all those old boring books I buy from library sales because they look nice but actually they’re rubbish. Happy day.
I just adore this AT-AT Walker inspired lamp, even though it’s completely ridiculous that the light lives in a drawer.
Great finds from around the internet

Just a few of the brilliant things I’ve come across lately. Needless to say, I want them all.
Origami tea bags - Beautiful origami green berry tea bags by Natalia Ponomareva. Just a concept for now.
BookBook - A MacBook cover that looks like an old book from TwelveSouth. Lush, but it’ll set you back $80.
Amazing chairs - it’s not always easy to get excited about chairs, but these are exceptionally beautiful with their Rob Ryan style cutout fairytale design. By Kranen/Grille, via DesignBoom.
I’m Here - a short film by Spike Jonze that debuted at Sundance this week. It’s a robot romance, somewhere between Wall-E, Where The Wild Things Are and 500 Days of Summer with a typically dreamy aesthetic and inspiring soundtrack.
Trees means tunes

Feast your eyes on these delicious wooden headphones. You could totally listen to the entire Michael Jackson back-catalogue on these /tenuousMJreference.
Created by supercinq for soon-to-launch music label The Perfect Unison, the wooden headband is made from Finnish birch and inspired by skateboard decks. There are more designs here. Don’t know how comfy they’d be, but still: WANT.
