The Alley

Sometimes, when I am wandering around this world, I find places that feel like they've come from my mind. 

One time, it happened when I was in Washington D.C. in a store called Anthropologie  

(back then they only had it in the U.S.)

It was awesome. Much of my awe was attributed to extreme fatigue, 

but MOST of it was because everything was so inspiring. 

I loved the dinnerware, the embroidered tea towels, the innovative ways of displaying the merchandise.  Everything looked unique and colourful, and handmade.

I honestly felt like I was walking around in my own brain.

Now my brain looks different. As with all of us, we grow and change and so do our interior landscapes. 

When I was in Chicago, I went to a place called The Alley. 

I was immediately transported into one of my friend's minds. His name is Bill. He is excellent. 

Sometimes I wish my name was Ted.

 

He's kind of Keanu Reeves-ish... And I used to be blonde! So it works... So there.

  While roaming in The Alley, I found this neat Lagoon Toon belt buckle:

 

And here are pics from the back alley walls:

And I leave this post with some graffiti. 

This stencil was made by Mephisto Jones from Wellington New Zealand.
