Lisbon Lights

Here are a few more snaps from Lisbon. We fell in love with all the old shop fronts, neon signs and window displays. Nostalgic is definitely a word we would use to describe Lisbon. We wish our HQ could like this!

Pretty in Portuguese Pink

The HQ have just returned from a great old field trip to the lovely Lisbon. We stocked up on ribbons, ephemera and tea towels. We have also taken too many photos and eaten too much cake. It is to be expected right? Anyway, we just wanted to share some snaps with you and thought we must start with all things pink! It is the HQ colour of choice after all. For all its colour and tiles, Lisbon has to be one of the best wrapped cities we have ever been to. Enjoy!

The Chaos Theory

We found reassurance in this article whilst we were researching ways to organise the HQ. We like the accompanying article too. Thanks for making us feel better Anthology. Now how do we attempt to get the HQ more organised and less Picasso? A spring clean is in order we think, get those labels at the ready!

GREEN WITH ENVY

How appropriate that we watched this today, celebrating all things green! Well emerald in our case. Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Also Pantone’s Colour for 2013! We love it when a plan comes together.

Here are a few more pictures of some of the things we saw in Sheffield. Again if you are ever in town we highly recommend the Graves Gallery above the Central Library. The building is great and the art collection even more so. The Power of Print exhibition is on until September so try and get a visit in before then, the surrounding galleries also have lots of fantastic art work on show. Please see below!

Bright lights, Steel City: Kelham Island

Victoria Jane — Mon, 25 Feb 2013 21:19:45 +0000

This weekend we visited Sheffield for a birthday party. We didn’t expect to find so many inspiring places, art and objects all in one visit. Here are some pictures that were taken around the area of Kelham Island, where steel was manufactured up until the late 70s. The industrial landscape was remarkable and truly inspiring, we were blown away by the muted colours and earthy tones in the brickwork. The patterns created by the dilapidated buildings were particularly eye catching. We were left with emotions ranging from excitement to sadness, and also slightly numb toes! If you are ever in Sheffield we recommend a visit to the area.
