Toast: Spring/Summer 2011 & Market Picks

Toast catalogues never disappoint in the inspiring stakes. Their spring/summer handbook is no different, whisking you off to an exotic land from the first turn of the page. Inside you can expect to find tactile linens, simple stoneware and crockery and plenty of textiles, all of which had me dreaming of alfresco suppers and cool summer evenings by the sea. Anyway, here's a peek inside their latest catalogue, along with some of my top market picks from the new collection. Anything take your fancy?

{Toast: Blue and White}

Toast always get it so right, don't they? If you remember how much I love azure blue, then you'll understand why I'm all excited looking at their scrumptious blue and white offerings this morning. These pieces would be perfect for a relaxing bedroom scheme - I'm thinking pastel shades for the walls, plently of exposed wooden surfaces for warmth and texture, teamed with these calming blue and white accessories from Toast. Yummy.

Ok, so there's some yellow in here, but still the Eve Pottery is divine.

Sigh. This image warms my heart. I'm sure the cotton jacquard throw would be lovely and warming, too!

Checks arn't quite as cool as chevron patterns, but the lovely blue and white hues still make this a winner.

I ventured into Toast this afternoon and this little vignette caught my eye. The matt yellow and grey hues of the crockery have farmhouse chic written all over them. Love, love, love!
