A Wednesday Full of Cakes, Mademoiselle Gredelin Girls, Little Ponies, Some Vintage & One Cat

I BELIEVE IN THE PERSON I WANT TO BECOME

Yesterday started at The Albion which is full of beautiful cookies and pastries. I had a pink macaroon and my usual soy latte which I enjoyed while creating yesterday's blog post:). Then I went off to see my favorite person, Jenny (a brilliant artist) whom works in this cute vintage boutique off Brick Lane called The Shop (!). Ohlalala did I find a lovely dress (an early 80's Laura Ashley), and yes it's now in my house. It will go with me to New York where I am to capture backstage photos from NY's Fashion Week for Crash Magazine. After Jenny I went to The Breakfast Club (here I found the My Little Pony wallpaper, such cuteness) for a glass of wine and to do my daily drawings! I am finding my character Gredelin Graddnos....you must be wondering What On Earth I Am Talking About:)))! You'll see soon enough.

& then I came home to THAT CAT.

YES:

“I am an excitable person who only understands life lyrically, musically, in whom feelings are much stronger as reason. I am so thirsty for the marvelous that only the marvelous has power over me. Anything I can not transform into something marvelous, I let go. Reality doesn't impress me. I only believe in intoxication, in ecstasy, and when ordinary life shackles me, I escape, one way or another. No more walls.” - Anais Nin

I have a new project planned for July so that is what I need to plan for today. So now I am off.

“I know a bank where the wild thyme blows,
Where oxlips and the nodding violet grows,
Quite over-canopied with luscious woodbine,
With sweet musk-roses and with eglantine.”
