Summer is almost over...

Monday, 29 August 2011

London never stops surprising me, it is an incredible city, full of life and beautiful corners such as Richmond park. Last weekend we walked along the park and canal for hours making the most of the last Summer days. I refuse to think that the season is almost over and that the Sun is going to hide till next year...I do not cope with grey cold days very well, and the thought of Autumn and Winter being round the corner do not make me very happy, so I am going to keep this photos in my diary to remind me of the sunny days that I have enjoyed and book my flight to Gran Canaria as soon as possible...

Old Spitalfields Antique Market

Saturday, 27 August 2011

Well, back to reality, Gassy is gone back home, Summer is almost ending, and I have to focus on work, because I want to and as a way to avoid thinking too much how hard is to have a boyfriend who lives in another country, (4 hours flight from London), not so bad, as he is from my home town, Gran Canaria, but still so far away....We visited Spitalfields antique's market last Thursday, and he totally loved it. We are even thinking of having a stall ourselves to sell all the stuff we like and keep collecting, well that is if he chooses to come and live in London with me haha...My favorite stall was run by two girls who had the most curious stuff, loved the wood games, cards, stamps, etc...they displayed the items so well and make you want to buy them all, if I only have a bigger house. The market is stuffed with all sort of things, from old frames, taxidermy, pottery, paper goods, I trully recommend a visit, although prices are much higher than in other markets, well you are in the city after all.

Nice words about my style and work at designskool

designskool is a great blog full of interesting images. I really enjoy Justine's words about the interiors that she features in the blog together with artworks, products etc...I share her views on interiors and style, and are happy to see photos of my house and Gassy's in her site. She has created a very nice piece about my work that summarise and explain my style and decorating views very well. Her blog is worth a visit if you are interested in personal spaces lived in by creative people and much more.
