Little treasures
I have arrived in Hong Kong. I was previously in London for the third time this trip? Before I was in Skipton visiting family, to Edinburgh, Scotland, down to York (which I loved!) and then back in London. I wandered around by myself most of the time. Firstly I went to Brick Lane and then walked around High Street and Kensington Gardens. The next day I went to Portobello Markets, a cafe called Charlie's where I read my book for awhile, then saw some Monet, Renoir and Van Gogh at The National Gallery. Yesterday I only had time for Tate Modern, but I really enjoyed it (this is really just an update for my friends that read this to keep track of me haha). Though one of my favourite things about travelling is going to old book stores, thrift stores and other random knick-knack stores. You always find the coolest little gems. Like in York I found a shop where this lady makes all these stamps, I got a daisy one!
Found this postcard in a book/music store in York. Adding to my growing vintage postcard 's collection. I am obsessed with the design on it and the message on it was written in 1993, the year I was born. Totally the zine 'Greetings from Rainbow Falls ' vibes.
A random book about Picture Postcards! Considering I collect them I thought this was pretty nifty! Bought in Edinburgh, Scotland. More zine vibes.
Found these in various book stores in York. I have visited many wondrous book stores!
This isn't even half of the records I have bought on this trip. I have also been to many record shops. Francoise Hardy and The Smiths were bought in Stratford Upon Avon. Shangri-Las (which is a record I have been trying to find foooorever) was found in York!
Sorry for the really bad pictures!
The Beatles, Buddy Holly and Bob Dylan. I think I got about five other records...I can't even think right now. I also got a new film camera too, whoop, whoop! And everything I got was pretty cheap, because I am stingy anyway.
Great finds! :D
