Sometimes something sparks my imagination and I hyper focus!

We had this in the shop very briefly yesterday - it was unsurprisingly snapped up before I could have a proper look but it sparked my imagination.

I am ashamed to say I have never heard of this Scottish artist and illustrator but after a deep dive it’s safe to say I am ever so slightly obssessed.

Jessie M King seems to be a combination of a whole list of my favourite things - children’s books illustrations, art deco and Liberty London (still determined to get there one day)

And I feel a road trip coming on to see where this amazing lady lived and worked and see what else I can find out.
