Delurking to ask a question I have been burning to ask. How do you manage to snap pictures in shops? I am intrigue... I am always scared to snap pictures in shops and when I do take them they turn out wonky.
ReplyDeleteI just discovered your blog, and I love it! How about some necktie pics?
ReplyDeletelovely cards bowie, have you seen these they are lush http://www.beaumonde-cards.com/product/?pid=3673
ReplyDeletealso look at hanna werning.
I too have been lurking around your blog for a while and felt the need to come out just to say thanks - for always putting lovely pics on your blog pages - It's nice to know that I'm not the only one who spends ages in paperchase when I really don't need to buy anything (but inevitably always do).
ReplyDeleteWhere do you get the time to do all this?
feli- drop me your email address and i'll give you a few tips on store snaps.
ReplyDeleteburl - i have photographed neck ties before - usually geometric ones - on P+P i have posted paul smith before. i will look out for more...
clare - ive featured beaumonde & hanna werning quite a few times on here - and kelly hyatt. i did a piece on him recently as he has actually sold beaumonde and started a new business ( that also includes hanna werning). thanks for the link though they sure are lovely designs.
monda - it does take a lot of time but its ok because i love coming across great patterns in my research. thanks for delurking :)
