Athe

This is a really lovely shirt, that I probably need to own, from Vanessa Bruno Athe at Urban Outfitters. Pictures: Urban Outfitters.

Martyn Edgell

I can waste far too much time looking at antique pottery online. I actually don't mind things that are chipped and a bit shabby, but if I had lots of money to spend, I would shop at Martyn Edgell. Pictures: Martyn Edgell.

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.

Donna Flower

Vintage dressmaking fabrics from Donna Flower, sold by the half-metre. They'd be ideal for flowergirls' dresses. Pictures: Donna Flower.

Willow Rose Boutique

Willow Corbett-Winder makes lovely, simple notebooks, address books, visitors' books and diaries covered in fabrics - stripes, florals, Indian hand-blocked and paisley. She'll make them to order if there's a particular print and shape you like. Pictures: Willow Rose Boutique.

Tim Bowen

Tim Bowen's collection of antique Welsh spongeware is the kind of thing I really swoon over. I'll never have too many bowls. I'd love to visit Tim and his wife Betsan's gallery near Carmarthen - full of these lovely ceramics and what looks like a really amazing collection of oak country furniture, Welsh paintings and folk art.

Vanessa Bruno

I love this summery tote and makeup bag by Vanessa Bruno, on sale at Anna. Pictures: Anna.

Marley Boutique

Marley Boutique is a really small range of inexpensive but rather lovely clothes for children, all handmade in London. I love this floral shirt (£28) and bloomers (£26). Pictures: Marley Boutique.

Odd Limited

Lovely things from Brigette Buchanan's beautiful company, Odd. Her "stripe dream" and "maud" cushions are on my wish list. I'd like to while away this afternoon on one of her rocking seats - in a shady spot, with a book. Pictures: Brigette Buchanan.

Up The Wooden Hills

Up The Wooden Hills is a little label from Gothenburg that - like most things from Sweden - I am a little bit in love with. This summer, they've just made one dress - knee-length, with deep pockets and nice sleeves you can roll up, in a few different Liberty prints - designed, they say, for riding "trains and swings"... and "suitable for jumping in and out of buses and as well as lying flat on the back in the grass". I love Sweden. Pictures: Up The Wooden Hills. Found via Wildflowers Pretty and, originally, Liebmarlene.

Pamela Tang

Australian designer Pamela Tang's simple, handmade linen dresses and smocks are just the ticket for summer. See more of her things on her blog and in her Etsy shop.

ASOS

Today, I'd like to be wearing this lovely, lovely floral shirt from Ganni, at ASOS. But I'd definitely be swapping those terrifying frilly knickers for a pair of jeans.

Rebecca's Aix

Rebecca Engels scours the brocantes of Aix-en-Provence for vintage linens to make her beautiful tote bags, which are lined with Liberty print. Each bag comes with a paper luggage label attached that tells the story of how the bag was put together - where she bought the fabric, handles and so on. She makes very nice shoe-bags and cushions, too.

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.

Louis Potts

Louis Potts is a one-stop-shop for all the prettiest English china - from Cornishware to Portmeirion - and also stocks every size of Kilner jar you'll ever need, Mason Cash mixing bowls and these lovely jar covers for homemade jam.

Pedlars + Ilovegorgeous

The small, summery range for grown-ups that children's label Ilovegorgeous have done for Pedlars is very sweet indeed.

Vanessa Arbuthnot

I love these gray, organic linen fabrics from Vanessa Arbuthnot.

Helen Gordon

These delightful denim and needlecord pinafores by Helen Gordon are just like the kind I wore when I was two.

Tonder & Tonder

Hannah Tonder's pink and blue bed linen is absolutely lovely, and quite unusual. The blue cotton lavender range is the one I'd choose.

Laura Ashley & People Tree

I like the look of this soon-to-launch collaboration very much - particularly the shorts (bottom left) and the tunic (top right).
