I like Old Signs

I love old typography and signage.  This one is on Great Junction Street in Leith but has sadly covered up again.  Thanks to it's heritage Leith has loads of faded signs, more to come when I've been out with my camera, there are so many I walk past every day!

Today i'm loving: Stripes

 Stellan Herner for Elle Interior

Topdrawer- Scandinavian Homeware

After my recent stint at Topdrawer I've become obsessed with scandinavian homeware.
I'm coveting the entire House Doctor collection.  Their catalogue is a beautifully styled collection of home accessories, furniture and soft furnishings.  Scrumptious!

What Elle Wears

If you told me a month ago I'd become hooked on seeing what the Elle team wears to work I'd have laughed! Choc full of Uber-stylish people, what elle wears is my new guilty secret.  Oh to have access to that fashion cupboard...

Arcade Fire- the wilderness downtown

Wow! They managed to make Aberdeen look amazing! Try it at the wilderness downtown.

Then see how they did it at chrome experiments.

Watercolour Tattoos

I've never really been tempted by a tattoo until I saw these works of art by Amanda Wachob-they're just so delicate and beautiful.  They remind me of a Joan Miro painting.    

My new toy

I found this old printing press in a junk shop in Edinburgh called Unicorn Antiques.  It's possibly the best place in edinburgh to buy old stuff.  They've got  everything you could ever want and best of all is the warren goodies downstairs!!!  I can't wait to get some fresh inks and squeegees and get printing. :)
