Day 9
Before meeting up with the flat family at Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park this evening, Tash and I made an afternoon-long stop at Portebello Market. We planned to do loads of Christmas shopping (we got some done). With lots of antique booths, we could have spent days there. One booth, in particular, caught my eye. When I say 'caught my eye', I mean, I literally darted across the street (I don't even remember checking for oncoming traffic). A letterpress booth. I've missed the weight of metal type in my hands and the smell of the ink. Go ahead, call me a weirdo, I'm obsessed. Needless to say, I bought this amazing piece of wood type...a pound sign! Can't get that in America.
