Lush Designs in Greenwich

Lush Designs have a range of homeswares decorated in fantastically characterful images of large beetroots, sprouts, carrots, foxes and foxcubs, warthogs and horses, as well as Royal Dressage to celebrate the Diamond Jubliee and Olympics.  The shop is located at 8 College Approach, a hop and a skip from Cutty Sark DLR station - with lampshades piled high, and every surface covered in their products it is as though you have stepped onto the page of a beautifully illustrated children's book (I think I was not the first person to be reminded of Rosie's Walk by the fox).

At this time of year, the washing up mountains can be somewhat overwhelming - these cheery tea towels will make the task fun. Oh who am I kidding - I hate washing up, having done it from the age of 5, so small I needed a chair to reach the sink.
