something colourful

∴

hello again! im back in athens. this morning, i woke up really early and i took the early bus to the capital. joe was waiting for me at the bus station to give me a lift home. i' m so grateful he' s been always around for me!

i' m feeling kind of tired, today. maybe there is a flu on its way. i hope i am lucky enough not to catch it. at the moment, i' m staying in bed, pampering myself. i am also expecting my dear friend from thessaloniki to spend a long weekend together. so, i have to prepare my place to welcome my guest.

before i go and do this, i have something really unique to share with you. last night, when in bed, i thought of my past travels, the beautiful people and shops i have met and seen.

so there was it; afro art! the most colourful and vibrant craft shop i have ever come across, based in stockholm, sweden.

i still remember my first time in the shop; i stood at its entrance looking around, really mesmerised by its colours! i fell in love with the woven baskets, the beautifully dyed textiles and the upcycled plastic carpets, all made in different parts of the world. for those of you who have been in my athens flat, you probably have noticed the pink plastic carpet i have in my kitchen, made in mali. this carpet is one of my most valuable acquisitions.

the shop also hosts the art of the eco-creative artist regis r vidal. regis is just amazing. check his portfolio here.

time to go. c ya!
