While reading the New York Time, Fashion and Style section online, I came across an illustration of Anna Wintour’s by Hope Gangloff. The illustrations feel like candid moments, almost like snapshot.

Went on a trip to the Value Village in my neighbourhood. The store was packed and it was difficult at times manoeuvring around the aisles. I spent $3.00 plus tax on several pieces of material and a little bag of thread. I am making a houndstooth pattern quilt. This is my first salvage project of the year. Fingers cross.

A few years ago I collaborated with my friend Deepa on a project in the Bijlmer. These are a few of her sun prints from the project.

Spent another afternoon in Parkdale. Most of the antique shops are closed on Monday but I will be going back on Friday, so I will take some pictures from inside the shops next time.
