four floods.

My good friend Jennie Webber invited me to the Four Floods exhibition to see some prints she had been working on. The exhibition was held in the Concrete Hermit shop/gallery on Club Row. You can buy prints from the exhibition from the Hermit Editions website, and browse work from other artists as well.

As I am a sucker for a white t-shirt I left with the above (designed and printed by Jennie), and feel it is more a piece of art, than an item of clothing. Either way I love it.

The idea behind the exhibition, was that a selection of artists were given an open brief and told to come up with work using only pink, blue, yellow and black. 

My favourite being "The Coming Dawn" print by Joe Wilson, photographed below. More details of it can be found here.

The results were spectacular, and a lovely, cider drinking evening was had by all.

You can see more of Jennie's work here on her website or "like" her on facebook.

For my 21^st, I decided to go away with my sister. I fancied something a little unconventional and completely different to anywhere I had been before as everywhere I have been has been reasonably easy going when it comes to cultural and language barriers.

We stayed in the most beautiful Riad, called Riad Azzar which was run by a lovely Dutch couple. They're called Riads because they are inwards facing because of the heat and have the garden in the centre of the property. Really bizarre. They gave up their jobs and stressful city lives and decided to start running the Riad, which meant it was a complete sanctuary; No internet, no TV, nothing but books and beautiful food.

It was right in the heart of the medina, off a small side street... every street looked the same it was easy to get lost. I was a pro map reader by the end. The Souk (market) was absolutely huge, and at night looked like it might be on fire, with all the dust and bright orange light.

Some snaps of my travels....

Talented ladies.

THE jacket.

This is the beaut jacket I got from The Gingham Deer at The Vintage Fair: Shoreditch Town Hall.

Getting oh so into the twitter thing.... the feeling you get when a brand/person/business you love "re-tweets" or replies to something you have to say is pretty great.

the vintage fair.

Today I stumbled across The Vintage Fair in Shoreditch. It was busy to say the least but needless to say I picked up some lovely bits and bobs.

4.45pm - still so busy.

Butterfly brooch - Janice In Wonderland

Feather brooch - Wolf + Moon

Hand bound notebook - Me and Miss Jones (Don't hold me to this name, I haven't been able to find anything more of them on the internet?)

I also bought a really gorgeous Jacket from The Gingham Deer but haven't got a photo as yet.... This was the first purchase and was quite the bargain. Glad I stumbled across this on my Saturday afternoon.
