We are long time fans of Rainy Sunday but they’ve taken it to a whole new level with these gorgeous copper creations, don’t you agree?

Originally know for their colourful drinking jars, Rainy Sunday have now extended their range to include copper flower jars, Scandinavian style flower boxes and beautiful new copper mason jar carriers (due to arrive in early October).

They’ve also teamed up with Sydney-based artist Daimon Downey (of Sneaky Sound System) and used his artwork to add a colourful dimension to the new range. His crazy cactus print has been lovingly screen printed by hand on to plywood and then crafted into table tiles, coasters, mason jar holders and flower boxes. You can even get your hands on their copper and cactus tissue paper.

Perfect for all you green juice devotees or the less healthy amongst us who just want a gorgeous way to display flowers at home with a little copper shine! I’m adding them to my wish list right now!

Electrolux’s Expressionist Collection makes breakfast easy

If you’re anything like me and find early mornings a serious struggle, the new Electrolux Expressionist Collection of appliances may just be your ticket to having a nutrititious breakfast and getting to work in time. It features a 1.7L kettle, a 2-slice toaster and a tabletop blender – the first standalone blender for Electrolux.

The blender is your first morning saviour, with its titianium-coated blades and toughened glass jug meaning it can take anything you throw at it. TruFlow technology also pulls all of the contents towards the blades so there is nowhere for ingredients to hide. Making a smoothie is as simple as pressing one button!

Your next little helper is the 2014 Good Design Award winning Expressionist Collection Kettle, which knows that you don’t have the time to wait for a full kettle to boil just for the one cup of tea. Its OneCup Turbo function heats up just enough water for one cup of tea in no time at all and will keep the water warm for 40 minutes so you don’t need to re-boil.

Finally, the toaster is the perfect companion for even the fussiest toast connoisseur. It features Fabulous Toast sensor technology that ensures the same perfect browning results toast after toast, while the extra wide slots makes it versatile for toasting thick cut bread, as well as buns or bagels. The Digital Countdown Timer function lets you know exactly how long is left until your toast is perfectly golden, while the Lift and Check function lets you pause to check browning and then resume toasting without having to restart. The ingenious crumpet function will even toast your crumpets to perfection; crispy on the top and perfectly warm on the bottom.

Electrolux’s new Expressionist Collection combines smart innovative features with timeless design. Available in stores from August 2014.

As it’s pretty damn chilly, let’s take a look at the (stainless steel) soup maker first. It’s currently just $59. The 1.3 litre unit will not only look good on your bench top, it will also deliver smooth, chunky or blended soups to your table in as little as 15-to-25 minutes. Simply add your ingredients, choose the setting and relax. Mine and Damian’s kind of cooking!
