For the past 25 years, designer Julia West has been beautifying interiors, from homes to offices; she also has a studio and store (see juliawesthome.com).
Ms. West and her colleague Isabella Dabrowiecki have teamed up with the Gardiner Museum to create pretty products for its shop to celebrate the museum's 25th anniversary.
You'll find a line of organic cotton textiles available only at the Gardiner Shop and at the designer's retail store. Ms. West and Ms. Dabrowiecki's creative eco-friendly tote bag ($32) and tea towel ($19) are particularly cheeky. They are accompanied by quotes from the likes of Mick Jagger ("I got nasty habits, I take tea at three") and Scottish comedian Billy Connelly ("Never trust a man who, when left alone in a room with a tea cozy, doesn't try it on.")
I'll raise a cuppa to that. And just in time for Christmas.
