“The time has come,” the Walrus said,
\n“To talk of many things:
\nOf shoes \u2013 and ships \u2013 and sealing-wax \u2013
\nOf cabbages \u2013 and kings \u2013
\nAnd why the sea is boiling hot \u2013
\nAnd whether pigs have wings.”<\/p>\n

The quote above is from the story about The Walrus and The Carpenter from Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There. This novel is the sequel of Alice\u2019s Adventures in Wonderland written by Charles Lutwidge Dodgson better known by the pseudonym Lewis Carroll. As a writer he is known for his facility at word play, logic, and fantasy.
\nThe reason for me quoting this story is that I just got to know about a tiny shop called Of Cabbages & Kings<\/a>. I don\u2019t think the owner Jessica could have picked a more suitable name for her business. This tiny shop is packed with curiosities, made by independent designers; button-headpins, ceramic cartons, knitted cushions, handmade cards, sweet knickers, the list is endless. <\/p>\n

Sitatet over er fra historien om The Walrus and The Carpenter fra romanen Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There. Dette er oppf\u00f8lgeren til Alice i Eventyrland skrevet av Charles Lutwidge Dodgson mer kjent under pseudonymet Lewis Carroll. Som forfatter var han kjent for sin lek med ord, logikk og fantasi. Grunnen til at jeg siterer denne teksten er at jeg akkurat har oppdaget en liten butikk som heter Of Cabbages & Kings<\/a>, og jeg tror ikke at innehaveren Jessica kunne ha funnet et mer treffende navn p\u00e5 butikken sin. Denne bittelille butikken er fylt til randen av kuriositeter laget av uavhengige designere; knappeh\u00e5rspenner, keramikkartonger, h\u00e5ndstrikkede puter, h\u00e5ndlagde kort, s\u00f8te truser, lista er endel\u00f8s.<\/em><\/p>\n

Once a month during this spring Jessica has organized the Of Cabbages & Kings Art & Design Market, where she invites different designers and makers to come trade. I was lucky to attend last weekend\u2019s market with my yarn stall, and I was impressed with the creativity and style showed by the participants. Just look at all the cool stuff I found, and the pictures only show a small collection of what was there. Next to my stall on the left was the stall of a lovely girl, Emily<\/a>. She designs and makes hand printed cushions, lampshades, lavender bags and tea towels. Showing her work is the picture showing the black and white lamp standing on a basket, with her cushions, storage baskets, and lavender bags. On my right was the stall of Cr\u00e8me Anglaise<\/a> that has the most beautiful children\u2019s clothes, and those cute space cushions and finger doll you can see on the pictures. I know Consumer Revolt<\/a> from working at Spitalfields Market, where I\u2019ve admired Daley\u2019s hand pulled screenprints before. I actually told him that I want to decorate my whole house with his work, my favourites is his deer print that you can see on the picture, and the bicycle series which doesn\u2019t show that well on the picture but that are really cool, just so you know. The ceramic cartons are from Of Cabbages & Kings\u2019 own stall, and the incredible fancy moose plate is from Jimbob Art\u2019s<\/a> stall.<\/p>\n

En gang i m\u00e5neden arrangerer Jessica Cabbages & Kings Art & Design Market, hvor hun inviterer forskjellige designere til \u00e5 delta. Jeg var deltok p\u00e5 forrige helgs marked med garnbua mi, og ble imponert over all den kreativiteten utstilt av de ulike deltagerne. Bare se p\u00e5 alt det lekre jeg fant, og bildene viser bare et lite utvalg fra det mangfoldet som var der! Ved siden av meg til venstre sto ei veldig s\u00f8t jente, Emily<\/a>. Hun designer og lager h\u00e5ndtrykkede puter, lampeskjermer, lavendelposer og kj\u00f8kken h\u00e5ndkl\u00e6r. Det er hennes produkter du ser p\u00e5 bildet med den svarte og hvite lampa som st\u00e5r oppe p\u00e5 en kurv, med puter, oppbevaringskurver og lavendelposer. Til h\u00f8yre for meg var Cr\u00e8me Anglaise<\/a> som lager de nydeligste barnekl\u00e6r, og de s\u00f8te verdensromputene og fingerdukkene du kan se p\u00e5 bildene. Consumer Revolt<\/a> kjenner jeg fra f\u00f8r, fra Spitalfields Market hvor jeg har beundret Daley sine silketrykk tidligere. Jeg har faktisk fortalt at jeg gjerne skulle dekorere hele hjemmet mitt med hans bilder, mine favoritter er hjortetrykket som du kan se p\u00e5 bildet, og sykkelserien som desverre ikke vises s\u00e6rlig godt p\u00e5 bildet, men som er skikkelig stilig, bare s\u00e5 du vet det. Keramikkartongene er fra Of Cabbages & Kings egen bu, og den utrolig kule elgen er det Jimbob Art\u2019s<\/a> som st\u00e5r bak.<\/em><\/p>\n

The market is to continue, inviting loads of different designers and makers with tons of creativity like those shown by the small selection I have here. It is scheduled to happen on the following dates Saturday 3rd & 4th of July, and on Saturday 14th & Sunday 15th of August. So if you happen to be in London it is really worth a visit!<\/p>\n

Jessica vil fortsette \u00e5 invitere forskjellige designere med tonnevis av kreativitet lik den det lille utvalget her viser. Datoene for de f\u00f8lgende markedene er: l\u00f8rdag 3. juli, s\u00f8ndag 4. juli, l\u00f8rdag 14. august og s\u00f8ndag 15. august. Skulle du tilfeldigvis befinne deg i London s\u00e5 er det virkelig verdt en tur.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
