Angel and a taste of Austria

The weather has truly been amazing. I'm told not to get used to it, but I can't help it! When the sun is shining and there are no clouds in the sky. Pretty fantastic. Another perfect day to be out, about, and exploring! Betsy and I made our way to Angel for the Islington Contemporary Art and Design Fair, a place for artists and designers to show and sell their work. The Fair takes place 0ver the 4 weekends in October with this weekend featuring Photography, Illustration, Graphics, and Printmaking. There were a few pieces I liked, some unique images of flowers and one in particular of a flower with a guitar.
After browsing the Fair, we strolled through Angel and some of the antique and vintage shops with great sequened tops from the 1950s and maps from the 1800s. We stopped for an afternoon snack of cake and coffee at Kipferl, an Austrian/Viennese Cafe and Kitchen. http://www.kipferl.co.uk/ It was a cute slice of Austria tucked away in Camden Passage.
