Van Gogh merch at Tate Britain. Yes those really are Van Gogh crocheted dolls (or possibly upmarket doggy toys? I didn’t test to see if they squeak when you squeeze ‘em). #merch #tat #vangogh #vangoghinlondon #london #tate #tatebritain #giftshop #bookshop #toy #doggytoy #upmarket #vincent #vincentvangogh #gifts #crochet #shopping (at Tate Britain)

Because nothing says ‘artistic struggle’ like Van Gogh beer mats. Available for all your beverage-sloppage needs in the Members Room at Tate Britain. Honestly, did Don McLean die for nothing?! #tate #vangogh #exhibition #vincentvangogh #tatebritain #art #artist #vincent #painting #merch #promotionalproducts #beer #beermat #london #gallery #daysout #painter #artistsoninstagram

Seen in the local secondhand bookshop today. ‘Ulcer Superdiet’ - possibly the least appealing title I’ve seen for a while, and those chicken legs at the bottom of the photo look positively anatomical. #grooooo #1970s #diet #dietbook #cookbook #cookery #bookcover #photography #books #design #70s
