Anamu aka Ana Maria
Finding new blogs to follow by accident somehow seems more special…anyhow my new blog to follow is by Anamu (aka Ana Maria) a ‘LA native living in London’…(stumbled across her posts for Poppytalk the other day…) what swung it for me was a pretty awesome mixtape (when I say awesome, I mean totally blown away) that she has put together for March. Check that out on 8track..!
So much to check out on her site so will be definitely spending a whole bunch of time perusing this over what is left of Easter…
In her words: ‘I’m a flea market fanatic with a knack for diy, music, pretty things and being a tourist wherever I am.’

Sunbury Antiques Market
Second post tonight via Poppytalk.
So it seems Andrea from Lotus Events + Got Craft? has a pretty good eye for places to check out and visit….!! Sunbury Antiques Market, ‘market opens at 6:30am and I highly suggest that you get there as early as you can as most stalls will begin packing up before lunch…selling both vintage antique goods…’ Words and pic Andrea.
2nd and 4th Tuesday of every month…
Sunbury Antiques Market, Kempton Park Racecourse, Middlesex TW16 5AQ

London town (E1+E2)
First of these types of posts from me – just been checking out Poppytalk and came across what seems like a never ending links and posts for shops, markets and pretty cool stuff to look at, peruse and visit in E1 + E2. Definitely something that I MUST DO on an upcoming Sunday! So here is the abbreviated version…
Sunday Up Market: The Old Truman Brewery, E1 6LQ
‘140 stalls selling fashion, accessories, crafts, interiors and music, it is undoubtedly one of London’s most exciting and imaginative markets.’ Open every Sunday 10am-5pm.
Selected shops:
Handmade Interiors: Cheshire St, E2 6EH
RyanTown: 126 Columbia Rd, E2 7RG
Vintage Heaven + Cake Hole: 82 Columbia Rd, E2 7QB
A.Gold: Cool sandwich shop: 42 Brushfield St, E1 6AG
Treacle: Cupcake shop: 110-112 Columbia Rd, E2 7RG
and although not quite E1 or E2 it seems a good place to end the day at:
Drink Shop & Do: 9 Caledonian Rd, N1 9DX
Finds found + written + photographed by: Stephanie Levy on Poppytalk, Andrea (Lotus Events) on Poppytalk (1 – 2 – 3 – 4), Ana Maria on Poppytalk.
