To London and back again

1 Reply

It was a really nice trip. This time we stayed in London a bit longer than in September – we’ve spent a whole 10 days in this beautiful city. I won’t post too many pictures, because you all have seen views of Camden Town a lot of times, but I’d like to share a couple of most memorable shots.

We printed a card for Amy and brought it to her house on Camden Square. It was in the first night of our stay in London.

We met up with Janis Winehouse and presented her similar card and a red handmade horse from Ukraine. It was a very pleasant to have a nice conversation with Amy’s mum.

Yesterday we returned to Kiev – a city where we live and work, but we are looking forward to visit London again. Probably in April. 🙂

P.S. And, of course, we couldn’t bring anything from Camden Town to Kiev. So, now the door to the meeting room in our office looks much better now. Well, it’s pretty logical, taking into consideration Amy’s portrait inside. 🙂

Dear Amy

Dear Amy,
My inspiration now and then,
You’ve been my idol since I was ten,
Nine years and counting in my heart,
That’s a void you fill and you’ll never part.

Your talent shines on every day,
My troubles disappear when your songs play,
I know that was your aim and that you met,
You’re in so many hearts, we’ll never forget.

I never personally knew you, but through your music I did,
Your strength’s kept me strong since I was a kid,
Iconic is you; your music, hair and style
Your music really goes that extra long mile.

I never got the chance to meet you,
Although it was my dream to,
But I’m happy that I got the chance,
To be inspired so much by you.

Your kind heart inspires me to this day,
And for everything I want to say,
A massive thank you for being you,
Your foundation continues the kindness that made you, you.
Your legacy continues every day,
Each year we’ll all celebrate your birthday,
Today’s a special one, your big three – O
Your fans love and miss you more than you’ll ever know.

Amy Winehouse Cards for a Cause birthday card designed by mum Janis

Janis with Album

The front of the card features a copy of a portrait of Janis drawn by a 12 year-old Amy in French class as a birthday card to her mum. It shows Janis in her pharmacist’s coat with pens in her breast pocket and name badge ‘Janis’. Amy has surrounded her portrait with hearts, and beneath it has written the dedication ‘Maman’.

Would love to get it? Okay, place a bid here: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/171184784246!

P.S. A friend of mine told me to pay an attention to the book behind Janis on that photo. 🙂
