We helped Dicky find some clothes for his Bearcraft video which he'll be shooting in a couple of weeks. We madly shopped in a vintage shop minutes before it closed on Saturday evening and then returned to Brick Lane for another go on Sunday. All of which was highly enjoyable. And I was lucky enough to be given a beautiful owl by Jessica.
Here's what came home with me...
Bright paper garlands from a party shop.
Pinata blindfold, also from the party shop. So pretty, it was impossible to resist.
Ric Rac and red & white trim from a wonderful haberdashers round the corner from Jessica's flat.
Groovy stickers & exercise book from a proper traditional stationers. And some Sharpies from American Apparel! Excitement!
A Miffy clog money box from a street seller on Brick Lane. For Iris naturally.
My beautiful new owl. I love him, he has such an owlish expression.
And lastly, another gratuitous blossom shot, because, well, just because...

I love the stickers, exercise book and sharpies....I love stationery, it's the only type of shop I want to visit on a trip. It's very dull for everyone else but it actually makes my heart beat faster.
I'm seeing a whole Marie Antionette outfit in crepe paper to go with the pinata mask - which must be mounted on a stick of course.
Blick - love those stickers.

Oh me too! Obviously.
But I also like a good old-fashioned hardware store, or, ooh a chemist..
On a stick, I love it! We can get all Marie Antoinette on our next crafting afternoon!
There can never be too many blossom shots. Or new sharpies : )
Looks like you had an amazing trip, and I love the pinata blindfold!!!
Yes yes! let them eat cake! x

Thanks again and I love your site.
Hi Nath,
just wanted to say thanks for the link.
Dee
where did you find those lovely paper garlands nath?
Francesca - they're from a party shop in Dalston. I can find out exactly for you if you'd like? Lots of different colours and only about 80p each!
How strange, I found the same paper mask years ago and love it just as much as you do!
