Bridgewater

A good place to buy all sorts of pottery items and other things for the home. Bright, breezy designs.

This review is only for the Daniel Craig tea towel.
I first saw the tea towel at a small shop in Kinsale, Ireland but the shopkeeper would not sell it to me because it was part of their store display. I begged, pleaded, and groveled to no avail. She simply shooed me out of her store as it was closing time. Dejected, I went back home a few days later but found that it was available through Emma Bridgewater online however it would have cost almost twice to ship to California. I simmered on the thought of purchasing a tea towel for nearly $ 50 and decided against it.
A few months later my birthday comes around and one of my gal pals surprised me with a «I HAD A REALLY NICE DREAM LAST NIGHT ABOUT DANIEL CRAIG» tea towel. I was over the moon. Apparently she has a friend who lives in London who bought it for her and sent it to give to me. That was thoroughly sweet and thoughtful.
I love my Daniel Craig tea towel and refuse to use it for anything other than a wall decoration.

Putting slightly irreverent, post modern slogans on tea cups just isn’t the same as putting them on t-​shirts. Putting it on a t-​shirt might say lots of bad things about you but it also says I’m not afraid to emblazon this on my chest, I want you to know what I think. And what I think is that ‘Everyone must listen to ghostface’ or ‘Paris Hilton s*cks’.
It’s in your face and it’s hard to know exactly how it relates to the person underneath the skin underneath.
A cup is different though. Whatever you write on a cup it inevitably just ends up saying ‘I really find peppermint tea helps me to digest better’ or ‘I drink green tea and therefore I FEEL ALIVE ALL THE TIME’.
To be fair, the Bridgewater slogans don’t ever allude to Paris Hilton and in general they are fairly sweet adding a little bit of personality and lightness to kitchen stuff. They do loads of it, there’s whole crockery sets on offer, for kids too, as well as mugs, cups and utensils. The company slogan is ‘some of the nicest things in your kitchen’ — pop in, they probably will be.
