HAPPY CHAIR : PINI LEIBOVICH

I really don't know if it gets any better than this... the 'Happy chair' by Pini Leibovich is made of thousands of balloons..It really does do what it says on the tin..I feel joyous just staring at it!

TAYLOR & NG MUGS

The collector inside me is developing new obsession with these mugs manufactured in Japan by Taylor & NG in the 1980's. I will not rest until I am the proud owner of Moose, whale, elephant and bear!

DREAM LAND

I'm researching the British seaside for an upcoming exciting project...and today I came across these rather sad pictures of Margate's now derelict 'Dreamland'. Dreamland's now grim appearance could never have been John Henry Iles intention back in 1919 when he bought up the site, renaming it after a theme park in Coney Island. I love the image of the depressing brick building with "Dreamland welcomes you" on it ... so bitter sweet.

On a more positive note, Margate Town Centre Regeneration Company are now working with The Dreamland Trust to redevelop the site as the world's first amusement park of historic rides, with the centre piece being a fully restored Scenic Railway!
