Early Early Christmas Fair

Early Early Christmas Fair Tidworth

I'm really excited to be attending the Early Early Christmas Fair this year in Tidworth. 

Jennie Erdal - Ghosting

August 16 2018
Ghosting instantly transports you to the 80's publishing world, with chaotic offices and big characters, namely 'Tiger'. But this book isn't all fun, there is also the confusing world of growing up in a mining village in Fife with parents who didn't answer questions and hid secrets around every corner. 

March Meet the Maker - Week 3

March 15 2018

Florence Drake and Ouch Dog Blue BowlHere I am. Being cheerful. With Ouch and my sewing machine.

I've really enjoyed this week.

Being around other creatives really helps when trying to work out how to keep you all interested in my feed.

I also love taking Ouch to my fairs, she joins in with whatever I throw at her!  

March Meet the Maker - Week 2

March 14 2018
Neon Pink Lino ZebraWeek two of this challenge has been, well challenging! 

When you are at your desk all day it is totally feasible to post one instagram post per day - but when you are chasing around setting up for fairs and fighting with the Royal Mail who have ballsed up another delivery, well it just means that instagram isn't top on the list! 

But fear not, some exiting things happened anyway - not least this pink zebra which was a first attempt at some lino printing. He still needs his eyes and hooves, but I think he is pretty cool! 

March Meet the Maker - Week 1

March 7 2018

Florence Drake Blue Bowl

On 1st March I messaged my friend
 Kay Barker and said go on, I will if you will. I'm already regretting it!! 

What was I talking about? A lovely lady I follow on instagram called Joanne Hawker started a month of insta posts that anyone can join in on. Each helps you tell the story of your creative business. 

Without a second thought Kay went ahead and posted Day 1. She is good like that. CRAP. Now I was in whether I liked it or not!!

So I thought I'd give you a flavour of that journey, week by week. Here goes...

John Hackett - I Was a Stranger

September 21 2016
John Hackett
This book is less a war memoir than a story of friendship – a celebration of the quiet heroism of three Dutch women who put their safety after the safety of this, to them, unknown soldier. 

Anthony Rhodes - Sword of Bone

August 24 2016

The latest limited edition Slightly Foxed has landed and we couldn't be happier. Just look at its beautiful black cloth binding and red endpapers.

John Moore

August 1 2016
The 34th Slightly Foxed Edition is in, Brensham Village by John Moore and we thought it was a great opportunity to have a look at two of his books that they have republished in their charming cloth bound limited editions. 

Suzanne St Albans - Mango and Mimosa

April 1 2016

This was one of the first Slightly Foxed Editions that I fell in love with. I highly recommend you read it!
