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).
I love pink fluff. Very funny. Love your blog. Love your photos. You are my inspiration for de-boring my blog. Thanks.

i just found your blog and i'm guessing i'm probably too late for telling you this...but did you know about arton beads on queen st. west in toronto? they have 2 shops, one right next door to the other. there are also a bunch of other bead shops in that same block (some are directly across the street from arton) but arton is the cheapest! hope you have (or had) fun in our city!! :)
