In the can

Founded in 1930, Portuguese Conserveira de Lisboa specialises in canned fish. Each tin is hand-wrapped in its striking, original packaging.  To discover more heritage Portuguese products, check out the brilliant and beautiful A Vida Portuguesa shop website.

Stitch me up

Came across this great cross-stitch illustrator in Aoyama's  Cïbone whose whimsical works are framed like pictures. In the last two years Japanese Makoto Daizu's career has really taken off and he is single-handedly making the matronly pastime of cross-stitching cool. From Nike Air Jordans to insects and worldmaps, no subject is exempt from his nimble needlework. Check out his work below.

Xmas spirit

Great concept for an advent calendar, a showcase of a different Susanne Kaufmann product for each day. Everything from bath oils to local herbs such as chili and cardamom seeds and whey bath powder. Only packaged in glass bottles.

Preserving Tradition

Going strong since 1981, Yorkshire based Cartwright & Butler started life as a jam and preserve maker.   I like their packaging and website design.

According to Jonathan Foyle, separate pavilions for banqueting and feasts will be a sought after luxury in the domestic home. Cue Russian designer Shamsudin Kerimov of KPA's smart Arbor design.
