Other things I’ve been loving this week but don’t have shopping links for include mini chocolate Brussels sprouts from M&S, gifted to my husband by one of his customers, a giant tarnished metal snowflake (see my Instagram feed for a photo!) and a handcrafted ceramic handled soup bowl I picked up in the gift shop in the Bonhoga art gallery here in Shetland.Â
