TEA TOWELS - patapri

i saw these wonderful tea towel prints by patapri on holly's amazing decor8 blog. i know they've been blogged quite a bit lately, but they are so good i just couldnt resist a post. they are available for sale on patapri's etsy shop priced at just $14.50, a great price for a hand printed design. see great photos and the full range of gorgeous prints here. absolutely brilliant.

PICNICWARE - jonathan adler

it was such a great week for patterns over at decor8 last week, as you know ive been looking out for melamine designs recently and holly also had news of jonathan adlers new range of picnicware.

BHS - shop online

at last BHS (british home stores) have launched an online shopping website so you can now browse and buy from home. it is early days though so expect more products to follow as it grows. i fell for this aqua blossom textile shower curtain, which cost me just £15.00. other areas to watch are the kelly hoppen lines, remember the kh home launch featured here back in november?. below are a few choice prints from the all new bhs website.

PLACEMENT PRINTS - t-shirts

its 24 degrees and sunny here in the UK, so print & pattern today is all about t-shirts. one of the best graphic tee websites has got to be threadless. not only can you browse the great designs (in glorious close up !), but you can also vote on submissions - plus theres the thrill of thinking one day you might enter a design yourself. im really keen on this design below called 'understanding birdsong' by raid 71 - if you like it, why not vote here. if you dont have time to visit the site here are some of my top picks of interesting illustrations.

DECALS - lamb lamb

i have to admit that dressing my ipod nano is a bit of a preoccupation - i love to cover things with pattern. ive featured quite a few covers, cases, and skins here on P+P, but new to me are ipod decals. i love this whole concept by lamb lamb who have some fabulous designs in their range. im particularly keen on the pink flowers above that look so striking on silver and black nanos. lamb lamb also have decals for the motorola razr and nintendo ds.
