Day 2 at Market

 

Day 2 proved to be just as fascinating. You can find *anything* here, like this French litter basket (which had my name all over it so I had to get...)

 

Colorful vintage kantha quilts from India cover these hat boxes. The riot of color is stunning!

 

This is a collection of pressed botanicals with accompanying descriptions in French! Look for these in the store soon.

London: Day 4

Began the day at The Tower of London. This year is the centennial of the start of WWI and they are placing 80,000 ceramic poppies in the moat as a memorial to lives lost. Also visited St. Paul's. The moment we got to the ticket counter, the fire alarm went off! We eventually got back in and made the 500+ step climb to the top of the dome. Crossed the Millennium Bridge (or wibbley-wobbley as it's called) to the Tate Modern for a visit before attending Julius Caesar at the Globe Theatre...a moving experience that I can't adequately express in words...
