Vintage Postcards

When we moved to the London area I vowed to try and get into the city at least once a week.

Yesterday I planned a visit to The Photographer's Gallery on Ramillies St.

I read that it was the largest public gallery in London dedicated to photography.

Being a girl that can not resist a photo, I decided it was the place for me.

After a wander, I proceeded to the Gallery Bookshop.

My favourite part of any excursion.

I can never resist postcards and added these few to my collection.

How gorgeous is Angelica Huston in the one above?

Herb Ritts was the photographer.

A beautiful image.

The rest of the cards follow the storyline of my day.

After visiting the Gallery, I felt the need for

a little time out and stopped into a cafe for lunch.

I like to relax, write,

and watch the crowd pass by.

As you can see below,

I am still thinking about Mrs. Greville :)

and the man in the white suit below.

The photo above was taken by Jacques-Henri Lartique.

I wonder what ever happened to the notion of using parasols in summer?

With that I moved on, weaving in and out of one shop after another.

Wondering when I would eventually find the perfect summer shoes.

If only it was as easy for me as the ladies below..

I love that some things never change and am secretly thinking that

these cat eye glasses just might be the thing for me.

Maybe as a pair of reading glasses:)

All thoughts now focused on the weekend!

Finally :)

Wishing you a wonderful one!
