The holidays are here!!!

The Christmas spirit is dangling about all over London.......well mostly amongst the popular shopping areas like Soho/Mayfair.

Lights, lights and more lights plus giant inflatable snowmen are (personally) a better alternative to snow for putting shoppers in the mood for the holiday season.



Yunnie and I went to visit our favourite festive sight - the jolly snowmen. Conveniently located beside Liberty, the ultimate one-stop posh shopping destination.



I had never been to the top two floors, which I discovered contained absolutely anything you desired, including an empty ostrich egg shell (?!?!?!). On the top floor was a fabric department, stocked with the most beautiful fabrics I have ever seen! Really makes me wish I had a sewing machine.... and millions of dollars. When we went in, it was light outside and when we emerged it was pitch black! That gives you an idea of how long it takes to really give this shop a thorough perusal.

One last pic of the jolly snowman... I really love him!

EXPERIMENTAL ART

More fun experimenting with artistic processes! The first one really worked, but the second not so much!




XMAS MADNESS!

Regent St was turned into a giant pedestrian walkway this weekend.. the Christmas craziness is at full throttle in London! It was not easy making my way through this crowd!
