Was going to abbreviate 'save the date' but 'Super Sweet STDs' doesn't quite conjure up the same wholesomeness and may be a bit at odds with this delicate new forest scene!

Subway n Shadows

This isn't the most beautiful picture ever, but the lines, shadows, curves and metal caught my glazed and frosty eye this morning in the glorious hammersmith.

Secret(est) Shopping

 Behind an unassuming side door off a side street in dalston lies a secret shop filled with beautiful treats for the eyes... less so for the wallet! Buzz in, wait for approval and hopefully be greeted with white rooms crammed with unique pieces, books and music linked with walkways of neon and tree branches...  ♥

Cardboard bag-complete with bright yellow zip!

Ziptastic leather holdall... swoon

Wooden framed glasses :)

Pretty Paris...

Cute Cloth-House

Soho; post auditioning (read making glances over an empty glass to imaginary person whilst swaying to sugababes...) I sought refuge in the Cloth House on berwick street. Could have probably spent the rest of the day in there perusing their ribbons, buttons and most of all reams and rolls of pretty fabrics! 

So much so that I fell in love with this linen and shall upholster nanny pat's (of original infamy) dining chairs with this colourful material...

... to be continued!

Biro Le Brillo

Saw these amazing art works today at 'The Other Art Fair' by artist Mark Powell using only a biro on vintage envelopes or found scraps of paper. Think they are just wonderful and his pen skills are muchos mesmerising!

A postcard by moi, crafted from my own photograph, pieces of newspaper, magazine, Shakespeare's finest words and me make-up! Looks almost like a watercolour image. Hoping it was gratefully received...
