Kitchen & table

Tea towels, creamers and other farmyard touches for the kitchen.

2 gift ideas here, each with a real shop for your country where we've found one.

A sheep or chicken tea towel

A cheap and cheerful stocking filler for a farmhouse kitchen. The Australian pick has sheep and lambs in a meadow; the UK one has roosters, hens and chicks, in 65% recycled cotton. Both are by Ulster Weavers.

A porcelain cow creamer

Milk pours from the cow's mouth and its tail is the handle. A bit of fun for the tea table, especially for anyone with a house cow.
