Kapital

Retail trips to Tokyo always inspire me...and this trip was no exception with the highlight easily being Kapital, it's the first time I've made it to the stores in Ebisu. The stores are so beautiful you never want to leave, the first store LEGS feels like a beduin tent-all you really want to do is relax with tea amongst all the denim and blow that nest egg!! Still weak at the knees a short stroll down the road is Duffle with Kapital here you get to walk around bear foot, which on any shopping trip is a luxury, split across 3 levels the basement is the ideal place to spend more money than you intended, the register is on the first floor where you can sit and flick through their books and lose yourself in the Kapital world of earthy tones beautiful craftmanship and an attention to detail that leaves you full to the brim with inspiration, leaving is heartbreaking.

Seeing spots

I love weekends and I secretly love it when I don't need an excuse to stay in...this weekend was miserable and wet.
which is fortunate because most of my projects have been feeling rather neglected of late. We have a garden sale coming up next weekend where I had the grand idea of making stuff...as usual with me it's a last minute rush to get a few things done. A couple trips to the scampoli (fabric store) where I always manage to find a bargain and lose myself for an hour leaving Michael stranded at the coffee machine reading the sports paper.
Very excited about the new spotted bags in 2 sizes and small pouches.

breakfast.

As most of you will know I am slightly obsessed with breakfast and particularly that of finding breakfast spots in Verona....finally, at last somewhere I can write about with a little excitement much to the relief of my roomie.
It's a nice 20 minute walk from our apartment in a neighbourhood I normally only go to for the Chinese supermarket (they stock PG tips and coriander a must for any Brit living abroad) but the al Moschetto is a great spot and the people who work there are welcoming and so excited that we appreciate what they also love.
