I quite like the idea of wearing a wee ceramic tea cup around my neck, which looks like it's been snatched from a doll's tea party. These miniature tea pot, milk jug and tea cup necklaces are the work of British jewellery designer, Louise Buchan. Prices start at £30 and are available from jewellery gallery @Work in East London and Pimlico.

Hello's
God I've been meaning to praise your blog for all its volume of glory, for some time now.
Its very addictive indeed, and I simply adore the subjects you chose to write about (sorry this is sounding extremely 'fan' girl like. Isn't it; gush gush, haha!). I'm luvin the tribute to the humble teapot.In the form of accessories!Brilliant I'm such a fan of Louise Buchan...however when I mention that name to others I simply get the following and very baffled reply...'huh what are you chatting about?'Great to know I'm not the only one in the know, haha.
Peace and Teapots...

So pretty! I'll bet they'd look cute as charms on a bracelet as well.
