what prudie would look like as a notebook

i've been to london twice this year (THANK YOU!) and had an incredible time on both occasions. however, i always return and realize what i missed while i was there. this time, brendan took me to my new favorite place: the saturday broadway market, yet, once back in the u.s.a, i soon discovered that i left before i could visit these amazing shops that are open saturday afternoons and all day sunday, for the east end flower market (for both trips i left too early on a saturday): ryantown and franklin alvarez (home of the prudie notebook). fuck. guess i have to plan another trip...

surprises

i thought i'd lost these images of london, but just found them on my phone.
this one is for wendi, because she loves taxidermy. it's from the store blue bird in chelsea.
this is brendan's shop murdock. i took it on my way to the airport.
this is what prudie would look like if she was a cat model...
hoxton 1.
hoxton 2. did i mention i'm going back next month? woohoo!
