Friday On My Mind #10 - Yurts, maps and the coolest bookstore you've ever seen!

On my mind this week....


I am just mildly obsessed with tiny houses and eco-structures so I absolutely fell in love with this amazing photo. Staying in a Yurt in Mongolia is definitely going on the bucket list. 



I saw a blog post entitled 10 Awesome Bookstores Repurposed From Unused Structures. Talk about a headline! How could anyone seriously pass that by... and so I clicked. If you're a bookstore lover like me, you should really take a look at them all, but here's a couple of particularly grand ones that I simply adore - can you imagine shopping for books here? I mean, seriously. I would never want to leave.

Black and white photos from this very cool, vintage photo blog


Have any of you seen that documentary about this guy? Man on Wire - a great true story about this guy above, Phillippe Petit, who illegally walked a tightrope between the Twin Towers in New York in 1974. Incredible! (As an aside, he performed at Pablo Picasso's 90th birthday back in 1971. How cool is that?)


I love the colours in this print by Jing Wei.


I love maps! And so of course I loved this blog post about map craft.... some fun ideas here - will be on the look out for old maps next time I'm at the tip shop!

Have an amazing and creative weekend! Jen x

  2. I blogged ages ago about a place called Barter Books which is near me and, I think, one of the best ever bookstores but I think that one would be a real contender!
