Saw a couple of these Joseph Joseph kitchen products while shopping the other day. I didn’t buy one cos I already have 7 colanders (!!!) and 5 chopping boards taking up half the space of my kitchen counter top but I do love the multi-function and space-saving features of these products. Top image, index-style chopping board set, which has four color-coded chopping boards to prevent cross-contamination of different food types.

Above, Folding Colander which stores flat when not in use. Below, Rinse&Chop™ dual-function chopping board. Neat, eh?

Le Creuset has created the Strawberry Tea Collection — including cake stand,  jam jar, tea plates, mugs, silicone muffin cases in a beautiful rose color –  in support of Breast Cancer Care UK summer fundraiser, Strawberry Tea. Lovely tea set for a good cause — sounds like a sweet deal.

The Flora Danica porcelain set, based on a botanical book of the same name, is considered one of the greatest artistic craftsmanship achievements in Denmark. Originally created by one of the greatest porcelain painters Johann Christoph Bayer in 1790, it was commissioned by King Christian VII to the Royal Copenhagen Porcelain Manufactory as a gift to Tsarina Catharine II of Russia. Catherine the Great died in 1796, before the design of the 1,802 pieces, which took a total of 12 years to bring to whole, was completed.
Meticulously hand painted and beautifully decorated, each piece of dinnerware from the collection is a delightful work of art. I especially love the round dish above. The colors and the details are simply exquisite.

More beautiful pieces from the collection — square tray, cake dish, teapot, cup, saucer, ice bell and stand.
