Since living in New York I started collecting affordable home and kitchen ware. There is a few places that are my favourites to go to and both of them are now also here in London.
My home ware collection from Anthropology
Fishs Eddy is one of them, they can now be found in Liberty, but has shops all over the US. My first shop visit was to the shop on Broadway, close to Union Square in New York. I use to think, that they were selling out kitchen ware from closed down restaurants, but reading about the company history, how the founders discovered a barn full of home ware in the US and seeing their range now, my view has changed. Now they are creating home ware with their own branding and colourfull prints, so I guess the big barn was a never ending inspiration source! The Fishs Eddy designs has a traditional US diner/restaurant feel, and what I love too, is that they have great size soup, salad and pasta bowls!
My second choice is the amazing Anthropology. They also offer affordable kitchen ware that takes you either back in time or on the other side of the world! Their shops are amazingly designed, and are all very inspiring to the entire home and your wardrobe! Prepare yourself, because you have to walk out with at least one thing! I took a few pictures of the shop on Regent Street in London, they have a growing real plant wall!
The real growing plant wall, how cool!

It's not unusual to have a real growing wall garden in London, but if I compare it to my garden, I much prefer my garden, where I can feel the grass under my feet!
Check out the Soho, New York Anthropology store if you are in New York, it was my first time to visit the brand, and I'm still a fan! They also sell on line!
Enjoy,
