Day 230 | Twinkle! | 17 November 2007

Today was basically an awesome day.

I went to an exhibition of photography at the National Portrait Gallery, which was completely inspiring.

I sold my first print from my Etsy store, and was really happy with how the prints came out.

I wandered around Covent Garden, Leicester Square, Tottenham Court Rd, and Oxford Street in the chill wind, which was fresh and crisp and just cold enough to put a glow in your cheeks...

I got started on my package for my Secret Santa, and got completely in the Christmas spirit, and felt just like a kid again. AND the Christmas lights on Oxford St made me happy.

Thanks people :)

PS. If you squint just a little bit, it doesn't matter so much that the shot is a bit soft.
