Polly put the kettle on we'll all have tea... at  Dormouse headquarters we never seem to manage to drink a cup of tea at the same time. One of us might be up in the garden another in the store room it's vital that we have something useful at hand to keep our pot warm.  As ever we believe that the functional should be beautiful too and to that end we present out five loveliest tea cosies...

There's nothing lovelier than a pretty cake tin in the Dormouse office apart from a cake tin which contains cake.

Here's our five favorite cake tins on the high street at the moment, so who's baking?

We have only just discovered Folksy, it's just as well our bank balance simply wouldn't stand it.  As it is we are having to make it a monthly visit, as it is there are just too many tempting goodies on offer.  Here's five of our most wanted...

Dormouse and cupcakes sitting in a tree K. I. S. S. I. N. G !

Yes it's no secret we have a love affair with cakes and in particular cupcakes. They are so sweet and scrumptious and best of all you don't have to share as they are designed just for one. Needless to say we have tasted more than our fair share in our time!

Therefore we feel are qualified (and proud) to bring you our five fave cupcakeries.

Flowers , flowers we adore flowers. In our gardens, on the table, by the bath so we can admire them as we soak. We particularly adore home grown blooms, though fairtrade is also great in our book too. In our opinion here are five of Britain's very best sellers.

We love tea - you had already guessed that hadn't you though? We like to make our cuppa a special occasion, a treat, and nothing makes us feel more spoilt than making a cup of tea from a beautifully designed package.
