Oops those would be my pins that you can see in the reflection there!
I heard about this little place about 6 months ago from a fellow store holder who also owns a restaurant. She raved on about this tiny tea house that serves all the little cakes and sandwiches you would have eaten at your grandmothers house! Oh and of course they serve a vast array of tea's. So I thought this might be the perfect place to take my little sister (a tea lover, vintage nut and budding pastry chef) to as a belated birthday present. Alas when we got there yesterday (in some pretty cold and windy weather) it turned out to be closed! We stood around for a while not really knowing what to do with
ourselves, before deciding that we would treat ourselves to beautiful
flower and a delicious lunch at home.
Saba wore her beautiful new 50s frock and I had my favourite pelican print Vested Gentress dress on, so it seemed like a shame not to have ourselves a nice afternoon anyway!
On Saturday afternoon I was at the Kingsland Festival selling a little loot of vintage. I was blown away by how many clever crafters there were, I mean where do people come up with these amazing ideas?! The place was teaming with prams, babies and pregnant bellies... and I would be lying if I said it didn't make me just a teeny bit clucky myself! I think more than anything I imagine it as a way to re-live my own amazing childhood, is that selfish?! Ha ha.
I'm really looking forward to this week.
- I have an exciting job coming up for the next two days for a magazine.
- I'm having my little studio space shot for an exhibition later this week.
- I'm hoping that this miserable weather passes quickly so that I can get out and shoot some of the adorable capes and winter coats I have for the shop.
- Oh and my blog going to be undergoing a (professional) make over!
So bring it on week! I'm so ready for you :)
