Portobello road market


I mostly enjoy calm colors around me - pebblestones style. Different hues of brown, grey, white, pink, lavender.

But sometimes - a true color inspiration is in place! Here I had such a hard time deciding whether to look up or down or something in between...added with sunny +24 C, some reggae music and the scent of Belgian waffles one could say that all the senses got exactly what the doctor ordered...





Luckily I was a bit short of time - otherwise 1 container would've not been enough to bring home all the things I stopped to admire...



The above shop, Rezai Persian Carpets, was (of course ;)) the one I spent the longest time in...admiring his IKAT and Suzani textiles...and had a really nice chat with him, as well.


Yes, without any doubt, Portobello road became one of my very favorite places on earth. LIKE. LIKE. LIKE.
