  1. Wee find: Shelf opens up online shop

    100-248-thickbox

    Thoroughly cheered by the news that my beloved Shelf on Cheshire Street has just launched an online shop, showcasing such goodies as their signature vintage-style letters, exclusive designer collaborations, Scandi and Japanese ceramics and bags of vintage ephemera.

    The brainchild of jewellery designer Katy Hackney and costume designer Jane Petrie, the shop has been a bit of hit with the fashion and design crowd, with the likes of Peter Jensen name-checking it as one of his all-time favourite London shops. Here are my top picks for Christmas:
