I’m really looking forward to returning to the YORK NATIONAL BOOK FAIR
this
Friday 13th September 12 noon to 7pm
and
Saturday 14th September 10 am to 5pm
There will be three floors packed full of rare books to explore, along with a little bit of Bookshelf Art, of course 🙂
A great excuse for a day out in the wonderful city of York!
As summer draws to a close, I hope you have all had some enjoyable times, and maybe even some inspiring travels?
I’m just back from Tuscany, where I was blown away by the depth of colour, the clarity and variety of design and the shapes of the internal architecture in the Palazzos and Duomos of San Giminiano and Siena.
It’s been 40 years since I was last wondering in the Tuscan hills and it felt like going home…
You can take a look at the notebooks in person if you happen to be in Harrogate this weekend.
I’ll be exhibiting at the PBFA Harrogate Premier Book Fair on Friday 15th March 12noon to 6pm
and Saturday 16th from 10am to 4pm.
You can even download a free ticket for two here 🙂
…and there’s a new Agatha Christie mug too!! The perfect vessel for a cosy cuppa with your whodunnit reading 🙂
Last week I delivered my latest bespoke commission ‘Younger Next Year’ in time for the client’s husband’s big birthday – he loved it – always such a relief!!
Now that I have a couple of studio-based weeks without rushing around to events, I thought I would do a little
Round Up of some Recent Releases
as I can never be quite sure that I have told you about them all.
I really should be more organised, with proper launches etc. but, hey ho, that’s not really my style!! 😂
Firstly, two new Limited Editions prints for you:
‘Partners In Crime‘
because autumn is the perfect time of year to curl up on the sofa with a pile of classic Agatha Christie paperbacks and a mug of cocoa 🙂
‘Look At This‘
a nostalgic shelfful of Ladybird books to take you back to your early school days…
Drift away with the flow of the river and memories of summer with
‘By The River’
now available as an A4 mounted print
Two new greetings cards from my Portico Library collaboration: Spine[Less] and Portico
are now in my online shop too 🙂
Getting Christmas sorted early….
I know we’re not past Hallowe’en yet, but I have been gathering gifts already, as I like to get my Christmas present buying started in October (if not before!) and well sorted by the time December gets underway.
To encourage you to do the same I am offering you an exclusive 10% off throughout my website shop from now until the 4th December 🙂
