Covent Garden and Seven Dials - Part 2

Looking into the shop window of Patisseree Valerie. Such prettiness.

A welcoming floral garland above a door and inside the shop doorway too......

 The old fashioned red phone boxes that adorned the streets when I was a child.

Inside the market.

A unique shop display of the most utilitarian items!   Humourous, characterful, washing up brushes and utensils to add fun to the chores!  I would have spent far too much money if I had gone inside. I wanted it all!!!

Her Majesty says hi!

 I love the emotion mugs!

One more look in the window.  I really wish I had bought myself a cheese grater lady.  Next time!

Covent Garden and Seven Dials - Part 1

I love Covent Garden and the Seven Dials region.  It appeals to my senses.  Something old, something new, something spiritual ......

Colour on a dreary day.

An unexpected blackboard with some food for thought.

Buildings that look like they are sponsored by Crayola (they are not!)

More modern buildings.

Tatty Devine's quirky jewellery designs.

Simple but effective ready to wear accessories.

Gudrun Sjoden had a wonderful shop display.  I didn't have time to look around the shop but I went in to ask for a catalogue and not only did the staff give me a free catalogue but a lovely printed cotton bag to carry it in too!

Stanfords was full of books and maps and globes.  A travellers paradise!  Even the carpet beyond the entrance was printed like a huge map!
