ghost town

deserted leadenhall market - the city at the weekend is a beautiful ghost town... plus scaffolding! 2 of my favourite things!

RUMMAGE jumble sale

I'm super-psyched to be taking part in this Sunday's RUMMAGE jumble sale : the Illustrators special at Superette!

Superette was formerly a technicolour emporium and stockist of girlgang, but has now been transformed into a minty-fresh and cool gallery and event space, run by my friend Leona Baker.
This is the first of a series of specially themed jumble sales and there'll be a whole team of illustrator types selling their spring-cleaned-out bits and bobs alongside me this Sunday, 2nd May - so come and join us :)

Here's the facebook event page with the full details

My table will be featuring 80's VHS tapes, a-mazing earrings, old-but-good magazines and books and er, well, any other cool junk I come across before then... oh, and I'm sure a few girlgang samples will work their way in there!

See you there :)

Fred Butler's very beautiful windows for Selfridges:::::

my very tiny part to play was helping Rosy Nicholas make the big hanging nests from colourful junk :)

get to know:::::

lush life

I have no idea if I like any of the songs on this album..... whatevs!

Like books, I judge all albums by their covers, and this one is one of my classic faves of all time!

i ♡ gold

my nails are well ridgey but I think it looks cool - like facets on a chrystal!

out of sight...

but not out of mind - thought I'd lost these bad boys the other day and nearly threw up with panic!!!!

pork and cabbage!

the Polish jewel in elephant and castle shopping centre's crown:::

£24 = 3 very full girls

p.s.

... they have spoons hanging from chains by the counter seats...

I can't think of a non-gross/weird explanation for this...

but the bigos is awesome!

WOW

I didn't think colouring in could actually get any better than it already is - what a fool I was...

thank you pound shop for continuing to bring unexpected joy to my life!

oops

just totally spoiled my lunch with these...

If you ever want to buy me a present...

... then I would like this bangle from Kabiri please...

... it's only £38,480

I think we can all agree that's money well spent.

rude

this song is always playing on the radio first thing in the morning

songs about sex on the school run anyone????

... I think my outrage means I'm old....

whatevs!

despite the rather obvious MIA rip offs, I love this video::::

espesh the dancehall vibes and the haring-esque set::::

I wanna go and print here!

...pity Wisconsin is thousands of miles away, this place is amazing!

I really hope the resurgence in interest in craft gets people using facilities like this more - not just to learn the skills but as professionals too, otherwise they'll just disappear along with Norb and co :(

SKILL

need a valentine's card???

at long last my friend Hannah and I have revived our gocco printed card biz, SKILL!

check out our etsy shop...

it's the tube map made real!

new year, new attitude!

I've just stolen this from the aroundthewaygirls blog but had to share - this is way better than a life coach, no?...

I wish Patti WAS my life coach...

My new attitude can be summed up by the white nails/orange lipstick combo - this will take me far in 2010...
