For this we ‘borrowed’ the unit next door so we could spread (the love) along the first three Units of the freshly painted Queens Parade in Willesden Green. As I truly know (and am making a business from it), Valentine’s Day brings… Continue reading Pop Up Love
Another Collective member post from one of our founding members from somewhere much more warm and tropical. She is currently creating a rich and varied life by following her dream, part of which involves writing.
