Anja at The Tower
Outside The Tower
The Tower bridge.
At Melissa’s houseboat. The place that she and her finance lives in is pretty amazing. It’s not just a boat attached to a dock. It’s an entire floating society, with roof gardens, an outdoor cinema and many other cool things. Like the movie Waterworld, but the real deal.

Buying a pattern rack at Morplan
Outside a Fred Perry store near Covent Garden. I could have bought their entire ladies range. They have so much more than the iconic polo shirt. Like this jacket for instance. Anyway I didn’t buy anything for myself (a lot of the ladies stuff in the store was in silk and started at around $140, so I need to save up first), but my boyfriend got a red/white/black polo shirt that he looks awesomely handsome in!
Us saying bye bye from the London eye!

The rack is up now, I made a mess drilling the holes as usual, but now it looks great! I can't believe how many patterns such a small rack can hold!

Lovely London pics. I'll be there in less than 2 weeks for vacation, and now I'm even more excited!

Ooh I am sure you will have a swell time, but be sure to bring a big wallet if you can. London is filled with shopping temptations!
