Green Goddess: The Chive Minute Pot in Green Layers
First up on Holly’s list of favourites is the gorgeous minute pot and saucer in green from Chive. In fact, sumptuous greens are rather the theme of todays favourite things blog, with Holly loving all things green – she loves how this pint-sized pot really brightens up a room with its rustic, handmade nature. What makes this pot an even better find is the drainage saucer underneath – allowing a plant to be planted straight into it with no fuss.

Stylish Side Tables: The Earth Side Table from Bloomingville
Holly’s second choice is this beautiful Earth Side Table from Bloomingville. Following the green theme, Holly loves this sage green table with a terrazzo finish on both platforms. The muted but bright colour works perfectly as an accent colour – ideal for brightening up those corners of your home which just need a little extra sparkle!

Displayed in our shop window down at Cabot Circus this enormous print feels like you can walk straight into it and disappear in the jungle depths. With each layer of the jungle, this print feels like it’s drawing you in – as Holly says it feels “busy yet sereneâ€.

Oversized prints – how to use them in your room
We adore a statement piece, especially when it comes to art and The Dybdahl Co prints are perfect for this. Oversized art can be used in countless ways; to tie a room together to creating a statement wall – we love when an oversized print feels like it’s going to draw us into it’s depths.
Home fragrance with a twist with the Earthbound Candle from Meraki
The penultimate item on Holly’s list was the Earthbound Candle from Meraki. Again following the green theme, this delightful candle has a light and airy peppermint scent – it definitely lives up to the name with its earthy undertones. The minimalist design of the candle is what really drew Holly in – looking amazing on any shelf yet calming.

Serving in Style with the Ama Splatter serving bowls from Nkuku
Finally Holly chose the Ama Splatter serving bowl from Nkuku. Coming in a range of sizes, this gorgeous bowl has a handmade feel to it with no bowl being the same. Holly love’s the uniqueness of this style, the black freckles are eye catching against the white and perfect for serving big meals with friends.

Why choose a pot with a saucer for your indoor plant?
When planting inside and outside, considering drainage is a must! Avoiding root rot and killing your plants can be tricky but is made much easier with built in drainage. With the Chive Minute collection, each pot has it’s own drainage with a saucer underneath, stopping root rot and allowing for drainage.
