Villa Angelo

I love everything about this lovely old stone house, perched on a hillside in Motovun in Croatia. It belongs to Ben, a friend of my husband Archie; he and his family have spent years restoring it - building cupboards from reclaimed timber, sourcing original copper baths - and it's finally available to rent (it sleeps six). Every detail - from the glass table lamps to the shade of green on the bedroom walls - is in the best possible taste and has me itching to redecorate. For prices and availability, visit the very smart new website. Pictures: Villa Angelo.

Rowen & Wren

These bud vases from Rowen & Wren look lovely in groups on a supper table; fill them with sprigs of blossom or individual blooms. They come in a pack of six (all slightly different shapes) for £18. Picture: Rowen & Wren.

Barcroft Hall

I am wowed by the wildflower fields at Barcroft Hall - created by Brian and Denise Herrick in what was a rubbish-strewn bit of abandoned land in Somerset. They grow more than 50 types of native flowers there - it looks like my idea of heaven. You can visit it for free this month. Pictures: James Dadzitis/SWNS.com, via here.

Brenda Green

Prints of Brenda Green's botanical drawings are just £25. These two are my favourites - the Clematis and Auricula. I like her pots, too. Pictures: Brenda Green.

Sibona

Quite subtly pretty hand-embroidered napkins from Sibona. I really love the gooseberries. Pictures: Sibona.

Lazy Giraffe

Deepa makes beautiful jewellery by hand in her small home-studio in Cambridge. Everything is made in very limited editions and is amazingly inexpensive. For example, these sweet glass-and-silver earrings are just £20, and you can buy these three stacked 14ct gold rings (one textured, two smooth) for a mere £22. Pictures: All Things Original.

Sarah Raven

I love Sarah Raven's Kitchen and Garden, the online shop of the brilliant writer, cook and horticulturalist. It's stocked with the things Sarah loves and uses in her own home at Sissinghurst, including lovely bits for picnics, like enamel mugs and campfires, really good floristry kit and vases, and everything you could possibly need for your garden.

Patchwork Harmony

Caroline Taylor's online shop Patchwork Harmony has relaunched today with some pretty new and vintage things for your home - like this blue enamel coffee pot and this tiking-stripe holder for plastic bags.

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.

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.

Bluebells

Walks in the Wiltshire woods when the bluebells were out were a firm part of my childhood, so I love that The Woodland Trust are setting up this new website which will list all the best bluebell woods across the country. From April (when the bluebells will be flowering, of course), you'll be able to type your postcode in to find your local bluebell forest.

Retreat Home

After (probably too many) posts about blankets and woolly things, here's a pretty and rather practical tray with lovely cork handles - and some jam jars of flowers - to remind you what spring feels like. Available soon from Retreat Home.

Bottle Green

I quite love single blooms in vases (especially ranunculus), and these vintage shades-of-green bottles from, aptly, Bottle Green, are very pretty.
