It's challenging to say what we like most about this vintage sticky tape set, as there are the muted colours, the erratic typeface and the fact that we could find a hundred uses for tape just like this.

We so wish we had the time here to peruse quietly the vintage markets and stores picking up finds here and there. But the truth is we don't anymore. And we're going to assume you don't either, but like us still want to discover those golden finds.

So we present you Wooden Donkey, a little online store from the UK featuring all the kinds of cute things we like, and shipping here to Australia. The down side of no time, is that they don't come as cheap as when uncovered in that shitty little shop no one seems to know about.

A vertical mag or book rack, Stak perfectly showcases all those fabulous books you spend a small fortune on.

Scandinavian anything is rather cool isn't it? And these hand made cushions screen printed onto natural linen don't disappoint.

Made in a London studio, Roddy and Ginger also retail screen printed artworks, and some other really cute cushion designs.

40cmx40cm and it's sold without an inner.

Form Us With Love have designed these serving bowls with memories of floating paper boats in mind, which we think is pretty obvious no?

The bowl comes with hilarious teak 'oar's serving spoons. You can also pick up the buoy inspired salt and pepper shakers as well.

A tiny little modern lighter like this we imagine you would have to keep your eye when out drinking. One lazy placement on a table and one would imagine it would be nicked before you even finished half your cigar.

Designed by Tsubato Pearl, the Stick Lighter comes in a range of fabulous colours and in a brass, lacquer or metal finish.

First up, we have one of these New York City's in A Bag, and love it. It comes with little wooden buildings including the Empire State Building and the Guggenheim and six little cars to tear around your tiny streets.

Then an ceramic cup that is NOT a paper cup made from porcelain with the nice touch of a silicone lid by designer James Burgess.

And lastly this reasonably creepy hand candle, featured in an unusual shade of green. Also comes in a bland grey, and is cast from a real hand.
