A Festive Feature.

This December I can be found amongst the pages of Little Thing Magazine...amusingly the only English words that feature are 'Alice' and 'Big hair'. I got to jaunt about my favourite places so that the lovely Jas Tang could write about 'A Week With Alice Gabb'. 

So here are the lovely places that have been featured:

Monday: The Vintage Emporium 

(marvellous for free Life Drawing sessions on Tuesday evenings)

Tuesday: Columbia Road Flower Market

(which is on Sundays, although Late Night Christmas Wednesdays have begun)

Food: Brawn - Printers and Stationers

Shopping: J and B - Choosing Keeping

Wednesday: Regents Canal

(My favourite walks are Warwick Avenue to Angel, or Whitmore Bridge to Hackney Wick)

Thursday: The Shop, Cheshire Street

(extremely affordable vintage textiles)

Friday: Towpath Cafe

Saturday: Broadway Market

All clothes worn are from Beyond Retro, Rokit, Old Spitalfields, Urban Outfitters Renewal or The Shop (I'm a creature of habit....)

Stepney Green Design Collection.

This month I have been commissioned by the lovely Katie Antoniou for Vivo, to create a piece for their  Stepney Green Design Collection in the beautiful art deco Genesis Cinema. There's some lovely work there from Petra Storrs amongst many others, all available to view from the 25th October until the end of December.

The drawers were another piece of treasure that I found at Old Spitalfields Market, and they are filled with an assortment of my own handprinted stationery, and some of my most prized possessions from my ever expanding vintage stationery collection. Each draw is filled with carefully placed nostalgic items, some admittedly completely obsolete, but that will hopefully lure you into the mood to brighten someone's day with a letter. And just to remind you of how it's done, the rather excellent, 'Pocket Book of Etiquette' is there to steer you in the right direction.
