Another mug from London Transport Museum.I spent a bit longer than expected on this new tube line called the Overground,
so I thought the cup was not just a great design but also a nice memento.
Here's a close-up of the actual fabric pattern that is used on the seats on this line:
This big brass ring is a purchase from Spitalfields market, off Brick Lane. It is an area of London I hadn't previously explored, and I really enjoyed the market stalls there. Lots of great stuff including vintage clothes and accessories.
Traditional tweed patterns in a new way. Irish rather than English, but heck... looks very To The Manor Born to me :-) I'm sure it will go nicely with my classic duffel coat in the fall.From Hanna Hats.

i so love that michelle mason design. have to get some of those cups.
Love those mugs – and that ring is so lovely. Good purchases :)
Francesca, thanks for that interesting piece of information (let me guess - you're a fan of QI..? ;-) I have an old A to Z – hence my ignorance of the Overground on the Underground. That, and the fact that we've not really been on the tube when travelling with a kid in a pram. (Thank god for black cabs!)
