Happy Friday!
This week was half term, normally we would go somewhere for a short break or a day out in the city. Instead, we had a stay home holiday, with late morning and lazy days. 
It was good but I can’t wait to go out exploring again! 
And you? What you’ve been up to this week? 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
To celebrate the end of our stay home week, one of my favourite maps of one of my favourite city, LONDON!

In the 1960’s, if you wanted to go visit the Queen, this is how you got there;) This colorful vintage tea towel featuring all the best sites in London is so full of joy and cheer! It’s large size (20”x30”) is ideal for traditional kitchen linen needs but also would look totally fun as framed art on the walls of your jaunty London inspired flat or your vacation themed Airbnb. 🇬🇧 Made of Irish linen, the fabric is wrinkly here in the photos to show the texture but when it arrives at your doorstep it will be ironed smooth and tidy;) Find it in the shop! - - - - - - #vintageteatowel #mapoflondon #londonmap #irishlinen #vintagelondon #airbnbdecor #britishdecor #colorfulhomedecor #teatowel #buckinghampalace #londonsiteseeing #londonlovers https://www.instagram.com/p/B5LKaSlAnQd/?igshid=1dy6pqk99pixs
