At the beginning of July, me and my husband managed to sneak a night away in London. The purpose of the trip was to see Bruce Springsteen in Hyde Park on the Saturday night, but I managed to sneak in a quick visit to the (heavenly) V&A on Sunday morning to see their incredible jewellery collection.

We only had an hour or so before we had to leave for the train back to Leeds - and oh my goodness I wish I’d had more time. I could have spent the whole day (and more) immersed in that museum. The craft and design there is incredible. I came away feeling very inspired.

If you are an arts and crafts lover, I highly recommend a visit. Plus it’s FREE to enter - I couldn’t believe it!

Here are a few quick snaps of some of my favs, although it was very hard to photograph the jewellery behind the glass in low light with shiny reflections everywhere!
