Kristin's post below about the windowbox herb garden in Notting Hill has us thinking about England and all the old-fashioned kitchen tools you can find through a few good companies there. One of our favorite daydream shops is Labour and Wait...
Beautiful Kitchen Tools from Labour and Wait
This shop is in the market district of East London. They have a well-curated collection of what they call timeless objects for everyday life. We find their selection beautiful and quietly classic, while still highly functional. They remind us a little of Kiosk in their simple yet practical and lovely selection of home objects.
We have too many favorites (or is that favourites?) in their kitchen collection to choose, but here are the objects in the photos above, along with a few extra:
Top, clockwise from top left:
• Ladle Set, £35.00
• Saltglaze Jug, £22.00
• Onion Pot, £20.00
• Classic Brown Betty 2-Cup Teapot, £10.00
Above, left to right:
• Vegetable Brush and Peeler, £8.50
• Four Horn Egg Spoons, £24.00
• Large Milk Jug, £14.00

That peeler is the best in the world. I love mine, it's easy to use and sharp. Better than any other, it makes peeling a delight.

I have a Brown Betty too, and I luuurve it! In fact, the minute my last one broke, I was on the phone ordering a new one. I buy mine at britsusa.com in Lawrence, KS. They've got great British stuff but you don't have to pay overseas shipping.

One of my favourite shops for inspiration - and occasional purchase. I also painted my garden trellis the same colour as the outside of the shop. (A friend used to live in a flat opposite so there was plenty of opportunity to admire it and, eventually, ask)
