Muswell Hill, North London...Part 1...
I go to London quite a bit, to visit my mother-in-law. While I am there I try to get to Muswell Hill to browse around, have a coffee, look at all the little individual shops, of which there are quite a few! Sometimes I am there hours!
A few weeks ago I picked up a copy of Woman and Home February issue, and came across an article about a new Tearoom and Gift shop in Fortis Green, Muswell Hill.. I thought "where is it" I want to go. Of course my mother-in-law pointed me in the right direction and so off I went on the bus. And there it was..Emporium - Tearoom and Fancy Goods. First Impression .."Delightful".

I had a look round first and then spoke to a lovely lady in the gift shop side, explained that I would like to take some photos to put on my blog! They were intrigued about Blogging!
It is a wonderful place to have coffee, a bite to eat and chat with friends or as I did, sat in the cosy corner!
The next day, my mother-in-law told me about a new Ceramic shop, not far from her, so I thought I would walk up there to have look. The shop is in Alexandra Park Road and is Called ZEBRA!! It is so great to look at, so inviting, with the coffee corner too! Had a look around, a coffee and a chat to one of the owners, lovely lady named Andrea..
A DELIGHTFUL place for Painting, fun, coffee and Cake!
Very relaxing way to spend a few hours!!
I have been doing Ceramics for quite a few years now, started in Wales where I used to attend a club at Raf St Athan, learnt how to make the items and paint etc and then became one of the session tutors, and now I visit my friends shop in Wantage, The Funky Teapot. So we had a lot to talk about, all very interesting, how they (her and friend Rachel) started out! The amazing thing I found out was that Andrea used to live in Oxford and work in a place called Harwell, not far from me. A small world!
Definitely Going Back!
