Trip to London

This Sunday I got back from our trip to London. I went with my sister and our mother, and we stayed in London from Thursday to Sunday. We did lots of shopping, went on a sightseeing bus (since my sister hasn`t been in London before) and saw the "Mamma Mia" musical, front row, very cool! We also ate at one of Gordon Ramsey`s restaurants, Maze, had afternoon tea at the Ritz, had lunch at Laduree at Harrods (and of course bought some macaroons to go), visited the Victoria and Albert museum, Kew Gardens, and last, but not least... Kristin Baybars Dollhouse shop! WOW! What a shop, I just loved it! She had just about everything you could imagine, and I highly recommend visiting her shop if you are going to London.
Not far from Kew Gardens we visited a quilt shop, and I bought these fabrics...

This is a dollhouse at Kew Palace in Kew Garden. It was bigger than 1:12, but I just had to take some pictures anyway :-)









These are the things I bought from Kristin Baybars...


The figurine is by Veronique Cornish.






Some mossy pots by Clive Brooker




A beautiful owl for my wizard by Annie Willis of Fine Designs



Some more wizard items



And something for the kids



And some paintings (prints, that is, not real paintings)

  3. Christel, makronene var nydelige, og det var også esken de lå i. Kjøpte også noen på Selfridges, de hadde en egen makron-disk der. De var også kjempegode, og alle forsvant før vi kom hjem :-)

  5. Nydelige ting du fikk kjøpt, men siden jeg er modernist er favoritten min espressokanna :-) Jeg har ikke vært i London (eller England for den saks skyld) siden jeg var barn, men kunne tenkt meg å dra på en av Kensington dukkehusarrangementene en gang.

  8. Janne, adressen er Kristin Baybars, 7 Manfield Road, Gospel Oak. Det er et stykke nord for Camden. Det enkleste er å ta buss fra Oxford Circus.
