We all went on an Interactive Arts trip to see the biennial in Liverpool.
Found a wonderful shop on Renshaw Street (Treena told us about it ages ago..but it was shut last time we went there).
A real cabinet of curiosities...I wanted the tin that said BOIL PLASTERS...but I opted fro this cheaper buy.
Two button cards , one pound each.
