What's pink and fluffy?
What's pink and fluffy?
Pink fluff.
Love that joke!
When I was passing through Toronto I was too sick to do much bead and ribbon shopping. So I'm back there this weekend for a little looksy. I'm amazed how much cheaper and more variety the bead shops in Toronto have over London. I speculate that it has something to do with the large Chinese population bringing over imports. But the difference is spectacular.
This is a simpler pair of turquoise, glass and ribbon earrings. These are proving popular as presents to my friends and relatives.
More popular than the funkier yo-yo fabric variety.
Which I love!
While in Toronto, I also plan to spend a little time in China Town. For sometime now my son has taken to only wearing silk clothing. We order silk Kung Fu suits from Hong Kong for him but I'm hoping to find a good cache in China town. Or buy some silk and make some before the summer is over. That's the fantasy anyway.
Today's Inspiration: Kimono flea market.
Likes: Antique markets. I try to resist but I am powerless. I was proud of this find; a tramp art frame for $15 and a red and white quilt top (lower left corner).
Glad to have you back - missed those jokes ;-)
Time away in a cabin sounds wonderful and restorative - good for you.
I love those turq and red earrings. Those seem to be my favorite color combination for the moment. Thanks also for the kimono resource - fabulous. I also enjoyed the paintings you did before leaving London.
Take good care and enjoy the remaining summer.

What a cute joke! I never heard it before. Love the earrings both. I think it depends which one are nicer to the person you are and the clothes you were. But I can't decide! Also love the frame! Love your weblog, I will be back soon!! xxxx
