Ganni

I always find so much to love at Ganni. I just tried on this new-season dress in Anthropologie (although I see it's £40 cheaper at ASOS) and can confirm it ticks every good-dress box. Really lovely. Picture: ASOS.
UPDATE: A reader has pointed out that the dress has been removed from the ASOS site. It's still available at Anthropologie, Regent Street (London) - though not online.

Woven Oak

Sussex company Woven Oak produce a small range of woodblocked textiles, printed by hand in India, which they make into exceptionally beautiful napkins, bags and other nice things. I badly want that washbag (£16.50). Pictures: Woven Oak.

Red Hen Originals

I am in love with this painting of two mice by Julia Burns - and it's only £28.50, complete with mount. Naturally, I like her paintings of pigs, too. Picture: Red Hen Originals.

Two printed dresses I would kill for. The top one is from Carin Rodebjer and bottom one is from Ermie. Pictures: Rodebjer and Jeana Sohn.

Collective noun prints

I'm not really a fan of those ubiquitous "clever" typography prints you see everywhere these days, telling you to keep calm or eat local, or whatever - but I do absolutely LOVE these prints by Woop Studios. This collection is inspired by the brilliant subject of collective nouns, and includes ones I knew (like a murder of crows) and ones I didn't, and am now extremely pleased I do - such as a waddling of ducks, a troubling of goldfish and - the sweetest - a charm of finches. If I was rich I would buy the lot. Wouldn't that be amazing for a child's bedroom wall? Pictures: Woop Studios.

Zara and Liberty

I know Liberty spreads itself thinly these days, lending their prints to anyone who asks - but I was very taken by the little range they've done with Zara Home Kids, featuring adorable, well-made and not-too-expensive baby clothes, towels, lovely spongebags, changing mats, bibs and totes for new mums.

Nicholas Hely Hutchinson

They're not fashionable, and you're more likely to see them on greetings cards than museum walls, but I find there's something so uplifting about Nicholas Hely Hutchinson's paintings. They're often of landscapes I know and love - such as Dorset, Cornwall and the west coast of Ireland - or wild flower meadows, remote cottages and bluebells woods. Find some of his greetings cards, produced by Canns Down Press, at Papergrain.

William Morris

Both my sets grandparents' houses were full of William Morris prints (my granny still has fruit on the walls of her breakfast room) so I have a such a soft spot for these wallpapers and fabrics. This year is the 150th anniversary of Morris & Co, and they're launching a new collection at London Design Week of never-before-seen interpretations of original Morris designs.

Holly Lasseter



Dorset girl Holly Lasseter sells prints of her beautiful botanical watercolours for £25 each on her website, alongside hand-painted ceramics, oven mits, makeup bags and other delights. These three - plumbago, hydrangea and anemone - are my favourites.

Tamasyn Gambell

Tamasyn Gambell's silk and wool scarves are incredibly beautiful. I love her vintage-scarf-covered notebooks, too.

Samantha Barnes

These greetings cards, featuring Samantha Barnes's watercolours of animals, are charming. You can buy them as signed prints, too - nice for a child's bedroom.

I'd like to collect the whole set of Nicole Heidaripour's alphabetised fish and farmyard prints, sold at Hooper and Shaw, the lovely shop she runs in Port Isaac in Cornwall. See more of Nicole's work here.

A Farmer's Daughter

I love these drawings of a pheasant and a partridge by Helen from A Farmer's Daughter. Buy them as prints here.

Sarah Woolfenden

Sarah Woolfenden's very detailed pen-and-ink drawings of trees near her home in North Devon are quite magical, I think. You can buy them as prints and cards here.

Mark Hearld for Tate

I think this might be my favourite Tate designer collaboration ever. It's from Scottish artist Mark Hearld, whose work is inspired by the British countryside. The range includes bowls, plates and cups produced for Mark by Burleigh, lovely hardback notebooks, and a set of utterly charming greetings cards that are the kind of thing I love.
