The Buying Guide Part 3: The Homeware Shop
Here I am at Daylesford Organic, a great homeware store. My china is a mixture of pale green cabbage bowls and plates from Daylesford, which also makes good everyday glass and other great homeware. You want your basic china to be things you can replace so that you don't have a dwindling collection. The Conran Shop is also great for buying china, it has an excellent china room.
I am very fond of baskets and have acquired a number of them. Put your basket to creative use by using it to store kindling and firelighters, toilet paper, and tea towels by the kitchen sink.
Similar Shops to Daylesford

Larger Cross in Oldwick, New Jersey, is a fantastic boutique that combines country house basics with modern design.
