I went along to Pulse London last week which is a trade show for homes products. It's at Earl's Court and it's pretty massive - with over 600 exhibitors - so I concentrated on an area called Launchpad which focuses on newer talent. In amongst all the cards and tea towels (of which there were a LOT) were a few crafty things that caught my eye.

Clockwise from top left: Dove Street Pottery - earthy, tactile and very easy to live with | Sabina Savage whose beautiful hand-drawn silk scarves won Best New Product at the show | Blodwen - lovely handmade homewares, textiles and furniture from Cardigan Bay in Wales | Emily Bucknell's black & white hand screen printed designs were very appealing and not at all twee.
