I've haven't been looking for anything new lately for my
etsy shops because we might be moving soon--moving to London! I know, you're thinking,
what?! I haven't said a peep. Sorry! It's just that we're going for Andrew's job, and things change often and fast when it comes to these things, so I wanted to wait until we were sure. We're about 100% sure now. Initially the move was going to be to Zurich, but London was a possibility. We like both cities, and as one friend put it, it's like choosing between
gelato and ice cream--you can't really go wrong either way. Andrew feels like London will be better for him work-wise, and since that's the whole reason for us going, that's really the most important thing. I've been looking at apartments and like
the one pictured above on
gumtree (thanks to
MLN for telling me about the site). Our apartment now just has one window in a large, rectangle shaped living room, so I'm looking forward to finding a place with more light. I love those shutters and the large mirror too. That apartment is a one bedroom, though, and we'd really like two. We need room for guests, after all! And Lois, of course.
Nobody has to twist my arm to go to London for a while. Just reading about
all the markets alone makes me excited! Have you seen any of
SFgirlbybay's posts from her London trip? So exciting. When we were in London a few years ago for a long weekend we went to the
Spitalfields and
Portobello Road markets. Both were great but
Portobello Road was more my speed than
Spitalfields--part farmer's market, part antique market. I'm looking forward to re-visiting it and also finding some other great
markets. Maybe the
Camden Market is a good one. The street where it's held, pictured above, certainly looks nice. More to come on the move. We have so much to do! We're hoping to go sometime in August, which will be here before I know it. Feel free to share any London insights and tips.
