When Melissa and I were at the Victoria & Albert Museum in #OMGLondon, we spent a ridiculous amount of time in the textiles study room. Rows upon rows upon rows of carefully filed and displayed lace, embroidery, whitework, woven fabrics, knitted, tatted, crocheted…
I mean, this place was seriously the Bermuda Triangle. I’m surprised we’re not still there.
In fact, I’m frankly kind of pissed off that we’re not still there.
Ah well.
Fortunately, the V&A has a remarkably tolerant attitude toward photography (it’s allowed everywhere in the museum except in special exhibits and on certain items that are on loan), and they encourage visitors to share their photos in a dedicated Flickr group.
Go ahead. Lose yourself in it.
Do you see why I need to go back?

okay that’s it, I’m undone….. un. done…
I don’t know how I will get there, but V&A is at the top of the bucket list….
W.O.W.
why aren’t we there *right now*?
I have absolutely no idea.
Oh I NEED to go there. I have never been so of course, it is a NEED.
Can we have a field trip??
