Sally Kindberg and the New Year
2024 started with a bit of a drama. Laryngitis turned into a rather vile throat infection (epiglottitis) which meant I couldn’t breathe/swallow/speak. After a difficult night I managed to get to A&E early in the morning – can’t remember how … Continue reading

Sally Kindberg visits a Yayoi Kusama takeover at Harrods (on a Tuesday)
I love polka dots! Yesterday (a Tuesday btw) I headed for Harrods where images of artist Yayoi Kusama took over over some of the store, including outside and in the store windows, with the help of Louis Vuitton. What fun! … Continue reading
