Somewhere in the neighbourhood of the British Museum we found a Little shop of…
A fabulous place where I – and my daughter – could have stayed for ever…The atmosphere, the patina of the old cupboards; the pencils, the bottled colours…everything.
Of course we bought some colours and sketch books, and I even bought a new pencil-box. My old faithful one is falling apart after 30 years and more of extensive use. But…I know I cannot abandon it anyway…it has stayed with me for ages, seen my university studies and…well, maybe it has brought me luck through tests and safely kept my precious pens and pencils…I am a pen-freak and have always been.
We were both so immersed in our findings, that we forgot to remember the name of this shop. I do know where it is situated, though. I will easily find it next time
Absorbing! And dangerous, to the purse!!! I would find it hard not to buy something there.
I could have bought the whole shop…
I have no trouble empathizing with that comment!
What a wonderful place to get lost in!
I’d love to get lost there…again.
Jag kan verkligen förstå att den här affären lockade dig … Mig med kan jag säga … // Maria 🙂
Atmosfären med allt gammalt och snygg display…ljuvligt!
Looks like a wonderful place….you’ve got me feeling artistic and thinking about getting my paints out 🙂
That would be great!
how marvellous … my artist husband would be there all day!
😉 helping me find it again perhaps?
Oh yes, I think I walked past that place a couple of times and every time I had to retain myself from getting in. I had to stick to ”window shopping” because I could have gone broke if I had entered that amazing shop!!! Sigh. 😉
Big Sigh here too. I could just sit there and breathe it in – no chairs though…Lucky for them or they would have had customers sitting all day around the place.
Yes, I agree the lack of chairs is a plus. For the shop owners! haha! I shall control myself and NOT start a blog on ”stationery fetishism” 😉
He, he…
I could spend DAYS in this place. Wonderful !!!! I hope you got the address ? Kathryn
Maybe one of my English blogger friends knows? It’s close to British Museum and Covent Garden..I’ll try Internet.
Thanks I would definitely visit!
Love the display, too…
Yes…I could have bought it all…
What a glorious find.
🙂
yes excitement can do that to you … forget… and I can understand why… the colors… and more colors 🙂
😉 colours can twist your mind…yes, I know something of that…
This place looks really inviting and I can perfectly understand why the name wasn’t that important. I’d love to visit, one day….
I will find out the name…or the street…
