In a Barbie-pink shop that doubles as a tearoom, the blonde owners sell plates and dishes that they glaze in colourful, often hilarious designs – ladies lunching, beach scenes, cakes and chocolates – that make great gifts for anyone who likes modern kitsch with a sense of humour. Sweet treats such as lemon meringue tarts are served on Blond's own crockery.
