PINCH

I absolutely love this furniture/product design company "Pinch". A husband and wife team from London [ I keep finding such amazing things from this City] - such beautiful designs though.

"We aim to create graceful and iconic furniture and lighting that work for both elegant domestic spaces and stylish contract environments. With a timeless quality, our pieces are designed and built to last, and we hope work comfortably in a variety of situations, from concrete to country. Our style does not seek to dominate or dictate but we hope instead thoroughly and resonantly engages".


This is just my style of furniture.....[furniture is a big thing for me].

Looking for Vintage shops

Explore the Portobello Road Market

The market

Next year, Im hoping to go visit London for the 2nd time. I went 2 years ago with my boyfriend, and we did the whole tourist thing. This time, I would love to find things that arnt on the tourist attraction lists. eg : markets; cute coffee shops; vintage shops; second hand shops; decor store/ boutiques...the list goes on. These are some pics Ive found while searching the web. They really make me want to jump on a plane and go explore.

We hoping to also go to Scotland, and visit Edinburgh, then go camping in the country side...and maybe some cycling along the way.

There is so much to see and do....I love researching all the places I want to go visit [shops,markets ect] in advance, so by time we want to go, I will have this lovely long list.

I can not wait :) - In the mean time, we are saving all our penny's. Hope you enjoy. xx
