Colours of Seattle

Chillies in Pike Place Market

Last month we spent two weeks in Seattle. We loved it. There is so much to see, so many different parts of the city with different characters. Seattle is famous for being a rainy city, but we got lucky and almost every day was sunny! The sun made all the colours of Seattle even more beautiful.

I totally loved this exhibition. All the colours were so powerful and the combination of colours and shapes was just amazing. The inside exhibits were made even more stunning by being lit up in rooms where everything else was black. It took my breath away when I walked into this first room.

I loved the garden as well. The way that the brightly coloured pieces of glass looked like they belonged with the natural plants. Visiting this place made me want to learn glass blowing!

Pike Place Market

The famous Pike Place Market is so full of colour and variety and is worth visiting at different times of day to see it in different lights.

Introducing my Book Fairy

So much has happened since I last blogged. I've been in 8 countries in 3 continents for a start! Once life gets back to normal I will post more photos and blog a bit more about what we did and saw, but for now here's a picture of my lovely book fairy which I bought at the opening of the Plush You! show at Schmancy Toys in Seattle. This amazing doll caught my eye when Kristen posted a picture of her on instagram when it arrived at the shop for the show, and then when I saw it in real life I knew she had to be mine! She is made by Pheleon Creations. I have lots of photos from the opening of the show and will blog about it in a few days time.
