It’s bookshop day on 11th October. A day to celebrate your local bookshop.

You could even go totally bananas and buy my latest, Saltburn, which is about, after all, small businesses being assailed by big business. Well, that’s one thing it’s about…

booksaremybag.com/BookshopDay/...

The bookshop day poster. It asks you to choose bookshops:

Local jobs
Local economy
Local community
Real passion
Real people
Real conversations
Proper service
Perfect gifts
(and taxes paid!)

The cover of Saltburn. Candy stripes coming from a picture of a seal sitting under a beach umbrella.

Evening all. Sharing this wee hedgehog display dish. I made the little dish from kiln free clay and then painted this little snowy scene. Unique for a gift and one of a kind, you can view it here 👇

I took these photos last week with the intention of showing them to you 1 at a time, offering them for sale. However, they all sold out at the autumn fair last Sunday so thought I’d make a collage instead. I guess I’d better make some more before the Christmas fair! #downlandcrafters #craftbizparty

Diamond painting cards featuring 2 cat designs, birthday cake, heart balloons, tiger and a giraffe.

Portrait of a pink hair creature. She has a black glass eye, the other one is a red patch her arms are made I'd two sticks of natural wood.

A big self-seeded Borage popped up this year 💙
It's far better than any I grew myself, it's grown huge and is still flowering now 💙
I'm getting more and more convinced that direct sowing and just scattering seeds about is the way to go 😂
What would nature do?

A Borage plant with several blue star-like flowers with black centres.
The plant is growing against a fence.

Butterflies are often associated with the mythical Tylwyth Teg, the Welsh fairy folk. Legend tells of an enchanted island with beautiful flowers and butterflies belonging to the Tylwyth Teg, which humans could visit but were not to disturb.
Art my own.

An original artwork of butterflies, bees and wildflowers. Created using acrylic paints on A3 board.
