findings

today alan, sanna, fi & daniel headed over to edinburgh to have a slice of fringe festivities & such. the main reason for going over was the robert hanson show that i've mentioned a couple of times. it was as lovely as i'd hoped it would be, each little piece had so much personality, & i wish i could've have bought one - especially one of the new york prints. instead i bought a bag with this printed on it, which was very much within my price-range at £5, hooray.

as well as analogue, we visited owl & lion, where we saw a couple of amazing little pop-up books by chisato tamabayashi. you can view them on her site under the titles "branches" & "queue", but if you can get to owl & lion to see them, definatly do! i snuck a photo of one, which felt a bit rude, but i couldn't resist as they were incredible.
