Caroline Hely Hutchinson Designs, Olive Oil Bottle.

I can honestly say this is one of the most joyous items I have ever received. Thank you Caroline!

Caroline Hely Hutchinson, (once barrister now artist! ), designs and paints a selection of tableware’s which will never fail to impress. I am posting this at this time of year as I am sure it would make a fantastic Mother’s Day gift.

‘Caroline sees the essence of her business as a ‘colour conversation’.  It has been a journey of discovery in many ways, the evolving dialogue of how people see colour, which colours say what to them, how colour enhances their mood and how they want colour within the home. The conversation continues as the different designs within ‘Diversity’ present themselves in many playful combinations.  Each CHH Design piece communicates with every other, and though all the designs are individual and exuberant, the colours still sing in harmony’  (CHH Designs)

Making Caroline’s wares even more appealing, she is a corporate partner of Wellbeing of Women. For every olive oil bottle sold on the website during 2014, she has pledged £5 towards this charity. Their work significantly benefits woman’s and babies’ health worldwide by helping fund various research projects.

Before I even mention the product I received, I have to comment on the presentation. I was just in the door from work and a note telling me the postman had been and gone was waiting. I rushed off to the delivery office to collect my post, not actually expecting anything, I was not aware of the delight that ensued.

The package was placed on the passenger seat next to me and I headed home only to get stuck in a long trail of traffic with two speeds – dead slow and stop!

I looked at the package thinking, ‘ I am not expecting anything, I wonder what this is?’ Curiosity got the better of me and while sitting in a long tail back of cars, I reached over and removed the brown paper. WOW, it revealed the most glorious pink and black box – don’t you just love it when a company puts as much effort into their product presentation as they do with their products? I do. The box was pink and black, with a crocodile skin effect on the lid and a delightful monkey design around the logo CHH. I was absolutely itching to open the box!

‘I want to help revive the art of giving’ – well she certainly has!  (CHH)

Inside this super box, buried within pink tissue paper and cushioned on white silk was the most beautifully decorated olive oil bottle and stopper ever!

The colours brought back treasured memories of little shops I had discovered while on holiday abroad, where all the wares are painted so delightfully you want to pack them all into your suitcase.

Red, pink, yellow, orange, sea blue and turquoise were among some of the colours used to decorate my bottle. Finely painted on high quality strong china, this bottle takes pride of place on my kitchen worktop, next to my cooker. Its presence screams joy and delight, I just can’t explain it. I want to buy loads more and have Caroline’s items dotted around my home adding a much needed and glorious injection of colour.

Have a look at the other tableware’s. The cow shaped creamers are delightful and next on my wish-list, as are the matching butter dishes.
