There's a new shop in East London just for the month of August. Everything in it is made of felt. Everything.
Made of felt.
See the sign outside? Made of felt.
This is not just a shop - it's an art show. This woman spent 7 months of her life creating an entire shop out of felt and now she is open every day for a month to show off her wares.
All of the items in the shop are for sale - but you can't take them with you when you go. You have to order them and she will send them to you next month. (Otherwise the shop would be a bit empty by the end of the month!)
Canned goods, milk, sandwiches, soda, frozen food…it's all here!
My favorite items were the newspapers!! (150 GBPs each)
Even cigarettes. Here is the artist behind the till…and, yes, the till is even made of felt.
Amazing. And so tempting to buy - - but it seems like the fact that it's an entire shop makes all of this more interesting. What would Bill and I do with a felt package of Hob Nobs?
Of course, if we chance our minds we can order on line.

This is SO cool! But I agree, what can you do with a felted bag of crisps or ice cream? This could be an endorsement, being food-related and all! :-)
Surely the monkeys would like an occasional treat or beverage?
I love felt and I'm impressed with the idea of this but it seems more like a museum and not a store.
