'Helen' Wine Glass Shades

Simply pop a tea-light candle into one your existing wine glasses. Add the delicate parchment shade and you have the cutest table mood lighting. Clever. I like the idea of repurposing objects. You could probably make your own with vellum paper but at $AUD27.00 (was $32.00) for three shades they are reasonably priced. Each set contains 3 different shades made out of fragile parchment. From Yooneek. Designed by Anke and Katrin, Germany.

Zander by Logan & Mason

I love the Zander range from the Logan & Mason Platinum Collection. In Bluestone and Ivory colourways, 100% cotton sateen and 370 thread count front and reverse. The fabric is Mercerised giving it a quality sheen appearance. It really looks great. And I think it has Missoni-like style at a fraction of the cost. I like to mix'n'match bedlinen. So try mixing a set of these bold design pillowcases with a crisp white or solid steel grey bed cover. It looks great and is a cheap way to update your bedlinen style regularly. A set of two tailored Zander pillowases is $AUD25.95 was $29.95. Full Quilt Cover Zander sets are also available from Cotton Box.
