Perfectly Picasso

Can I have this please? Spotted tucked away in a back room of the stunning Modern Art Museum in Ceret, South of France ... I saw this while on the latest Zeitgeist shopping trip. 

Sketch of London


Yesterday I visited Sketch at 9 Conduit Street to gather inspiration for the Zeitgeist new shop interior. It is a wonderful visual treat comprising of a restaurant, bars, patisserie and gallery. This unique place is exactly what I am looking to create with the new shop premises I have been searching for far and wide ( well, in north London really!) There is something very exciting in the pipeline and I will keep you posted. 

One day soon ... The Zeitgeist Girl is back !

Today was a good day for vintage finds for the Zeitgeist collection. My treasures of today included the iconic Bowie photographed by Lord Snowdon in 1978, a snakeskin bangle, Safari beads, cool Japanese shades, a brass swan and a detail from the Tempest painted oil on wood panel by Peder Balke in 1862...an exhibition of his paintings are showing at The National Gallery, London. More lovely things coming soon .......

Urban Living

Garden for sale .....

Urban foxes had destroyed my garden making a cosy home for themselves behind my decking. They have gone now thanks to the local gardener Tom putting back together my little urban garden. It is now officially up for sale ... But not my cherished vintage French cafe table and chairs, they are coming with me but the foxes can stay.
