Graham and Green has launched an auction of designer stag heads (Stag Sixteen) today, The auction, which is a joint initiative with Centrepoint in London, UK, aims to help young homeless persons get their futures back.  Some brilliant stag heads to choose from and a very worthy cause, so if you have the wallet for it, go and drop your bid here!

These are my favourites:  1 – By Rob Ryan. This is certainly a stag with attitude! :-) Wacky, mustard-yellow and punky with a strong lamenting message.

2 – By Nicola Malkin. Fun, crazy and decorative!

3 – By Lulu Guinness. Cute and cool! Would like this over my dressing table mirror.

Although these designer stags are regrettably not within my price range, I’m getting all sorts of ideas on how to pimp my own Graham and Green staghead. And with a little donation to the homeless cause I can feel as if I’m participating in the initiative in a small way also. :-)

…and the price for the most random new decor item in UK AW 2010 home collections goes to…..

…for the OVERSIZED ALUMINIUM SCISSORS!!

I think they’re alone on this one…  Adoringly whimsical! :-)

Isn’t this the best message slogan ever? =)

The story goes that this poster was commissioned by the British Government’s Ministry of Information in the early days of the 2^nd World War as a reassuring message from King George VI to the people.

My own personal copy of this glorious British stiff-upper-lip-inspired poster arrived in the post today! I’ll be mounting it in an ornate metallic frame and hanging it on my bathroom wall.

Other design elements for the bathroom may include this yet-to-be-purchased seriously slick towel ring from Graham & Green.
