An afternoon in Haji Lane

There's always something in the atmosphere here - a light whiff of scented candles whispering lavender, the chuckling jingle of storefront bells, a lazy ginger cat sleeping on a bar table. Beli and I had a perfect afternoon marching up and down this lane picking out odd trinkets and vintage pieces. We petted a cat for the first time in our lives, watched artists smear a wall with a woman in a fruit hat, and Bel bought her first vintage skirt for half off (they were having a 50% off sale). And we both posed for photos outside a "for-rent" storefront covered with newspapers because it was still charming nevertheless. It's all in the atmosphere, i say!

It was wonderful. X
