no matter what is if you put it on a wall some how it works..i have been thinking about all the restaurants we have visited this summer…..the table cloth is usually paper and has a map of an island with little illustrations dotted around. it always makes me smile when i see the dot….you are here.

what i love about this show is that its all about what YOU see. each time you take a lap of the halls something new pops into your fied of vision. mainly i think its nice not to think of trends and whats new……..its the idea anything can work as long as you love it and want to have it in your space. so display your own collection of stuff and be happy and proud.

strangetrader going fashion….

Sep 5th 2011

Off to Paris in a couple of days for the shows and on the hunt for a new look for strangetrader summer…..

we are looking for more fashion in the store. Of course colourful colour will be top of the list. Fingers crossed!!!

oh, and the weather in Paris is rain rain and 18 degrees…. that’s nearly 20 down from what i am used to in Turkey!.. which brings up sooo many wardrobe issues!!
