Recently I've been on a 4 month holiday (actually, three holidays, combined to nearly 4 months, but who's counting?), so I'm afraid I'll be posting a lot of stuff about these lovely destinations as they have inspired me just the way I needed.
Each single one had different qualities about them, logically as that is why we visit different places in the world.
I've had to drag about two extra bags from each place, obviously being overpacked after having robbed the cities from their local jewels!
Here's a little secret from Barcelona, for every lucky person who's planning to go still: the CCCB Bookshop in 'El Raval'.
This store has about everything anyone who's into art, photography, fashion and illustration (or writing for that matter) would desire. Apart from the extensive collection of books, which made me want to cry and grab, this was the first museumshop where I was so tempted by the gadgets they had, that I actually bought some.
Because honestly, who can live without a camera that can make BLUE PICTURES?? And what about a 3D Notepad. Just drawing some lines on the paper (see attached photo) give instant effect. Very satisfying for the lazy bastards or not-so-talented sketchers among us...
But the cutest and simplest idea came in the form of a sticky notepad, that has drawing of origami foldings on every one (up to 4 styles I think, it's one of those packages that makes you torn between wanting to rip it off and admire it they way it looks now).
Now, I'll be honest and say I'm an easy target for memorabilia and souvenirs, but I thought these were noteworthy exceptions to the rule.
