Cassie Merchantile is a spectacular appointment only vintage inspiration shop in London that I was happy to have had the chance to visit last February.
This makes me super jealous of little British kids. Wish we had these growing up. Seen about a year ago at the wonderful V&A Museum of Childhood in London. A slew of photos I took are here.
I happened upon these amazing photographs on Flickr. They we taken by a school teacher who is (unnecessarily) modest about her talents as a photographer. There are over three hundred images in the captivating series, so take some time to sit down and enjoy. I’ve posted a few favorites here and many after the jump.
CORRECTION. I received more accurate information on these shots from a commenter:
“A man by the name of George Plemper who once lived and teached in Thamesmead took these photos. He returned to the area last year and exhibited his photos during Local and Community History Month on behalf of Trust Thamesmead.”
Thanks!

If I could transport myself any place tomorrow, I’d be back at the Story Deli and beautiful shop in London, having crispy chorizo and pumpkin pizza with my friend Dana and her adorable baby Bea.
The amazing concept store run by Anne Shore. Read more here.
