Rob Ryan and the Columbia Flower Market
Today Tom was off Go Karting with some friends, so I had decided to venture down to Columbia Road to the Rob Ryan shop. As I've mentioned before, I love Rob Ryan and was excited to find out he had a shop in London! I hadn't realised it was actually in the middle of the flower market! Such a fabulous atmosphere and on such a beautiful sunny day!
Of course I had to buy something (or some 'things') and opted for one his fabulous books 'This is for you':
I found some gorgeous fat quarters for £3.75 and had to buy them:
I was also a bit naughty and bought a few corsage making things. A plastic guider to make it easier to make them, and a corsage set - purely because I can then copy the pattern and adapt to make my own. They will undoubtedly never be as good as my friend Abbey's over at Doll Doll Dolly!
A lovely day; but I think it's obvious why I never have any money! Will be spending a cosy evening in with my cross stitch and a terrible movie. Heaven.

I couldn't really justify a mug or one of his exquisite tiles so instead opted for an amazing teatowel. It's far too beautiful to use, so i plan to frame it instead!
After my visit to my current mecca i decided to have a wander around columbia road. There are so many beautiful shops; I could have spent a fortune. I then happened across a stunning fabric shop called Beyond Fabrics

Black and White Corsage
As I mentioned, I'm off on holiday next week and up to Tom's at the weekend so this will be my last post for a few weeks. This evening I made another corsage. This one is made out of the beautiful black and white rose fabric I bought the other week from Beyond Fabrics and an old H&M checked dress I cut up! The button I do believe was a spare from some item of clothing or other, so it's very nearly an upcycled piece!

This one only took an hour to make (in the time it took me to watch candy cabs haha) which is good to know! When I get back I think I'll try and do some more elaborate ones, perhaps with ribbon too as I just came across a whole drawer full!
Hopefully I can happen upon some crafting shops over in Brisbane. My aunty is a home ec teacher so hopefully she can teach me a thing or two!
