London Craft Market and Shopping

In hindsight, I wish I would have taken more pictures at this market, but some people do not like for their craft ideas to photographed. So, here are the few I was able to take.

Old beer bottles turned into glasses.

These looked like jewelry boxes with a compass attached to the lid

Love this display piece!

Ladies, you will need at least two full days to shop in this area!

More shopping!!

Of course, the Apple Store in London

This is an old deli turned t-shirt shop. Love how they use the old meat cases to display the t-shirts! This place is called Johnny Cupcakes.

I only wish I had more time there!

Just look around and try to imagine what it looked like all those years ago. Remains of many buildings from different periods are visible. The forum used to house temples, basilicas and arches. The area is massive and is a must see site if you ever get a chance to visit Rome. The forum is “ one of the most important archaeological sites in the world ." Three thousand years ago, this valley, which was to become the future social and political center of one of the greatest empires of ancient times, was submerged in marshland. By an incredible invention of engineering, a canal that is still in function to this very day, allowed for the drainage of the land.
