Patina, 1009, Franklin Avenue South, Minnepolis

Being in Minneapolis at the weekend it was time to visit Patina again. It's one of those eclectic stores that is packed from floor to ceiling with beautiful inspirational goodies, all mixed together in a melting pot of colour and great design. Your eyes get drawn from one exciting display to the next and it's a place you can easily spend a couple of hours exploring. 

Here are some of the photo's :

 

 

A definite Bollywood theme going on !

 

Target Easter

Target have all their Easter cards out now, and the colours and cute graphics this year are bright and eye catching. There are also several different textures and techniques being used as fills and layers, and these really make the cards stand out :

Colour Fantastic !

When Spring / Summer Stock starts to go on the shop floor, it's a great time to look at colour before it changes or gets sold.
We wanted to start the colour stories with Banana Republic which is currently looking very stylish and fresh.
There are a lot of inky blues, black, grey and various blue / blue denims mixed with sherbet pastels, stone, khaki and soft airforce that neutralize the brights.
