The reason I’m still in bed is…

…because I’m so tired from my pilgrimage to Anthropologie in London yesterday.

It’s one of those shops that appeals to my sense of colour and pattern; the mix of colours and the merchandise settings are inspiring, as is the use of pattern on pattern and embroidery. A lot of the clothing has a 1920’s print vibe to it and a lot of hand embroidery. However I did have one of those depressing changing room experiences that we all suffer from occasionally and so nothing got purchased from the clothing range.

However china always fits beautifully so I cheered myself up purchasing some real beauties to go in my still life paintings.

P.S. I’m not really still in bed just on it!
