Indie Shops in Edinburgh

There are a number of indie shops found in Edinburgh. I am surprised that how lovely and keening for both the shop keepers and the shoppers. There is only appreciation found in the shop. (No picking, bargaining or copying here, unlike Hong Kong)

The Red Door Gallery

Website | Blog

which is a lovely indie shop full of designers' and handmade artists' goodies. You may found amazing prints, hand bags, accessories there. I love the wide collection of illustration works. And I am tempted to buy one, however, I have to consider my limited luggage space for my return flight to Hong Kong. In respect of copyright, I did not take photos inside the shop but only the front door.

It is great that the Red Door Gallery operates an online store as well.

Romantic vintage

I have been stalking Lobster and Swan's blog for sometime. She is an amazing artist! Reading her blog and photos is piece of joy every day! It inspires me a lot.

Such that... I have bought some vintage jewelry findings for my new collection in 2010! So excited.

For more vintage goodies,

I love this rustic blue tackle box from postroadvintage, Fire King tableware from jaditekate and digital wallpaper from Cath Kidston

I love aqua

My heart melts every time I see this lovely aqua with a vintage touch!

Nice cup and saucer from jaditekate - I love Jadite's stuff. I wish I am living in US. The shipping cost to Hong Kong is too expensive! Imagine: a lovely morning + tea + a nice vintage cup :)

Summer Dreams art photo from Kristybee - Kristy's photos are always soft and dreamy!

Pale blue modern clock from uncommon - I think I need a new clock on my pale wall!

Vintage tags from PaperEclectiques - These tags inspires me for the deco of my next craft show. (Yes, I am having a craft show in Nov. More about it later.)
