London wish list. Part 1.

I am planning a London trip around end of July - haven't been there for almost half a year! It is a long time. So, besides all the pleasant commitments that have to be made - seeing friends - yippee, I'm also planning a bit of a stock up shopping trip. Since my luggage allowance is around 23 kg, have to keep it light. And, since I like to be prepared early, will start my wish list now- two months ahead. Just things, mostly home stuff, that are worth checking out! Here is part one - Urban Outfitters and Laura Ashley.

Shelf project.

I found it very difficult to find good looking, but reasonably priced shelves here in Morocco. Decent furniture is really overpriced over here! RRHH!!
So I ended up with the garish looking office shelves. Have to say, didn't get them myself it was a surprise from my dear other half.... Well, it was very sweet of him...
So I decided to beautify them a bit.  I started with one. Just in case. First, covered it with white paint, then with lightest blue. Brushed it over with sand paper and the end result is - beautiful!! Really happy with the end result!  Here are some pics:

youth centre photos

Note for the guys from youth centre: all the photos are in my facebook page. 

Pretty impressive!

I have been doing lots of work with moroccan youth recently - photos of them. Although the process is been a little like a true christening with fire(?), the really positive and inspiring side of it all as been getting to know young locals and all the impressive stuff they get up to!
