Goodies from London

 
Here are the goodies I bought in London, very multicultural.
 The set of three Indian recycled paper boxes were £6 and I could not resist the leather flowers which were made in Chili and are actually hairslides.
 I bought them all from a shop in Camden Lock Market Hall.  
Pop back tomorrow to see some photo's I took of the inside of the shop.
You might be wondering about the black and white photo... Its Mexican artist Frida Kahlo and her artist husband Diego Rivera.  After studying her at college and seeing the film with Salma Hyaak playing Frida, I got hooked on the music and just love the story of their lives.  I bought the A5 size print to add to the sepia picture wall in my bedroom
We arrived home from London to find this lovely mail art had arrived from my friend Mo in Scotland.  Philip instantly recognised it as Mo's work. Isn't it pretty.

Also a book that will be good for my Alchemy online embroidery course. I will have to tell the others about it.
I know Helen will kill me but I had to show you this picture of her hard at work on my blanket.  She has been at it for months. What a star.
