Pretty Blooms

Blooms, gorgeous blooms. :) We love visiting flower markets, and the Hongqiao Flower is one that we always visit when we are in Shanghai. Not only do you get the freshest blooms, you are spoilt for a huge variety of lifestyle products at attractive prices.

Full blooms in gorgeous hues! :D

Let me introduce to you our fav lifestyle shop, Z-Bo Deco at Hongqiao Flower Market :)



















This shop offers fanciful pieces for your cosy home that don't hurt your wallet! :))) How great is that? Lol! :D

Z-Bo changes its products every season. :) If we're working in Shanghai, Lin and I will have a fabulous time decorating our home to suit every occassion. It's our "must go" shop! :D

Lin and I checked out the Columbia Road Flower Market in London last November. :) We were a little disappointed as it wasn't as big as claimed to be. : / Nonetheless, there were still some stuff that caught our attention. :) 

Such as these colourful shophouses... :)

...this quaint blue door with a foxy fixture... ;)




























and .... "woof woof! Don't touch my cuppa!"...We spotted this cute little dog, waiting outside a mom-and pop store while his master shopped. :) This furry one is a coffee addict through and through! ;) - see the cup?

Columbia Road Flower Market offers lots of cutesy stuff but they are kind of pricey. We had to practice self-control....no dirty eyes...no, no...:))) Lin and I were satisfied with just window shopping & photo taking! ;)
