follow the caravan.

it hasn’t been that long since i posted about the charming miss emily chalmers (what a perfect name for her that is!), but oh heck, i miss her anyway. i’ve been fantasizing about running away and living in london, notting hill to be specific, ever since my trip there last may, and you never know — maybe i’ll just have to become portobellogirlbyroad or some such silly name.

perhaps it’s my family’s british ancestry, but i love london, and wanted to see what miss chalmers and her gorgeous shop caravan was up to. so here’s a bit of a glimpse! and remember, even if you haven’t got a trip planned for london town anytime soon, you can still shop the lovely caravan online and find the bounty of emily’s inspiring books here.

    it’s a problem with other bloggers using my images and it uses up all my bandwidth. we are working on it and it should be fixed within a few days. it’s kind of complicated, but please hang in there. can you see the images on the site, but just not google reader?

    Yes, they show up on your site, but not in Google Reader (I use Firefox).

    I live in London and absolutely love this shop! Her book ‘Flea Market Style’ is one of my favourites!

    By the way, I’m having the same issue. Your photos don’t show up in Google Reader.
