Banksy??

The debate is still on as to whether this peace loving granny, in Primrose Hill, is an authentic Banksy. But it still makes me smile every time i see it.

Vintage Fashion Fair

Sundays are made for endless pots of tea, numerous slices of toast, long walks, pub lunches and a rummage though a great vintage fair. I managed to pack all of this in yesterday at Primrose Hill, culminating with a visit to the Vintage Fashion Fair at Cecil Sharp House. There was a great selection of stalls with some real gems on offer. Small enough to not be too overwhelming but big enough to make me wish I'd have saved more pennies! The next fair is on April 17th and if you register before hand, it's free to get in!

The Pastels of Primrose Hill

Chandelier lust!

Whilst sitting down to tea and toast in Cafe Seventy Nine on Sunday, I became completely obsessed with their beautiful chandeliers! Made up of glass tea cups, cake moulds and shot glasses, it has completely inspired me to create something for a bare bulb we have in the house. Next time you are in and around Primrose Hill, be sure to pop in for a look.

Sir Peter Blake and The Museum of Everything...don't miss out!

After extending its run in December, The Museum of Everything is sadly set to close its doors next weekend, much to the disappointment of its many fans! The museum is currently hosting Exhibition 3, an impressive display of the weird and wonderful from none other than Sir Peter Blake's extensive private collection. The 2 floor studio in Primrose Hill is filled to the brim with curiosities in what makes for a charming, nostalgic and often very funny experience.

Highlights include, Ted Wilcox and his embroidered pin up girls, Seaside shell mania, Walter Potter's fascinating Victorian Taxidermy (boxing squirrels for crying out loud!) and Arthur Miller's hand made miniature fun fair. Now, if that's not enough to intrigue, then you are obviously numb to curiosity! But believe me, you will kick yourself if you miss out on this. It is one of the best exhibitions to come out of last year and will leave you feeling up-beat, inspired and dying for a cuppa to discuss your favourite bits ...cue cute little coffee shop at the exit! Hopefully it will be back soon...

Never have I ever been so disappointed...another sign actually threatened death...eek!
