My little one is all growed up. I told Mary the first night there, “She’s gorgeous and very sweet but who is she?” It took us a few days to get to know each other again and I’m glad to say we are friends… again.

She’s come a long way baby!

A Coke with lime. I realize this isn’t exactly a “travel” picture but it was taken in London so it counts.

Now I need to find the rest of the Polaroids.

This beautiful apron made by my very own friend Elan. You should buy one.

This pretty vintage fabric from Once Again.

Lena’s excursion by Oh Kirby. In honor of my trip to Paris… whenever that may be. It will be though.

Thinking print by Blancucha.

I love Piccadilly Circus in the West End. You walk up out of the tube station and you are immediately surrounded by a bazillion people and lights and billboards. I like getting off the tube here because there is so much in walking distance.

The second picture is totally random. We were walking around Carnaby Street, took a few side streets, turned around and there was a gigantic plug. Awesome.

I’ve finally started scanning the Polaroids from my trip. I’ll be honest I did not take nearly as many as I would have liked. The thing about Polaroids is that you have all of these precious photos to hang on to. I guess that is part of the appeal but it can be tricky if you are as um… loosely organized as I am. I have one stash that I’ve scanned and the other set is around here somewhere. They are not definitely, permanently lost but they are definitely not in my hands either. *sigh* They’ll turn up. Until then I give you my friend Marielle.

Every time I bring up her name the person I’m talking to ineviteably ends up calling her Mariella. It’s Marielle. Okay now that we have that out of the way you can look at her pretty, smiley face. She’s so funny, always up for a laugh, never ever grumpy and super duper sweet. Pretty unbeatable combination I’d say.

Oh yeah, she even drove me to the Emergency Room in the middle of the night while I stayed with her. Did I mention she is also patient?
