Advent day 17

Prospero Books, Crouch End

Warhol comes to N6

While we were in Crouch End at the weekend we also discovered an amazing little gallery and print studio called Jealous.

At the moment they're hosting an American art exhibition, and for a one-room gallery it's pretty substantial - I counted four Andy Warhol prints, a Lichtenstein, two Keith Harings and a couple of Basquiats, as well as some incredible pieces by people I'd never heard of (including Leslie Wayne and Allan D'Arcangelo, which I love). Apparently they're mostly from the personal collection of the owner (jealous, moi?), but if you've got a spare £25,000 a Warhol Dollar print could be yours!

Alternatively you could buy a print from one of the artists working in the print studio for a fraction of the price (Obama Tuesday prints were £25 unframed, a large portrait of the man £125).

Apologies for lack of photos, I was so in awe I forgot to take any. If you're in the area take a look, they're on Park Road near the wedding dress shop (which is currently displaying a photo of yours truly in full wedding garb!).

Logan goes to Oxfam

We had a jaunt to Crouch End at the weekend, they've got a comics section in the Oxfam bookshop there. Logan helped himself to a book from the children's shelves then wandered the entire shop until he found somewhere suitable to read, wedged against the revolving shelves by the front door.

Check out the reins that are cunningly disguised as a backpack, too - quite cool, but still don't stop him wandering into the road if you're not careful. And you feel a bit like you're walking a dog.
