I wanted to start the week by sharing some photos of a beautiful collaboration between Somerset homeware brand Midgley Green, who I profiled earlier this year, and artisan Devon-based potter Jono Smart. Entitled ‘Winter Flowers’, the collaboration celebrates the turning seasons with a series of contemporary stem vases that are perfect for displaying foraged finds. All have wonderful textures . . .

Home tour | A small Swedish space
