Jackie Dee has a simple philosophy: "Everything useful should be beautiful and everything beautiful should be useful." This is certainly the case with her beautiful bowls, made at her studio in Ballynatray, Co Waterford.

Nothing wrong with a bit of preening at home — I adore this peacock table lamp with dusky velvet shade — the pink trim is just fab! Spotted in TK Maxx, €46.99, see Tkmaxx.
