The kid and I just moved booths at The Rustic Fox and we now have a little more space. I thoroughly enjoyed painting it this week. I’ll be adding decor and new merch over the next week. I’ll be sure to add updates here and The Dog Poet and my Dog Poet and Jane Austen Instagram pages.

The kid makes crochet items and creatively follows her heart - she’s big on insects and creatures that become wacky hybrids. A student of entomology and nematology - her best selling item these last few weeks has been an earthworm. I absolutely love that she creates the unexpected, that’s my girl!

This time last year, I was working to finish Wisdom and Worldliness. I’m so grateful that it now has reviews from Susannah Harker (Jane Bennet P&P 1995) Rosie Cavaliero (Lady Lucas P&P 2026), and the wonderful Laughing with Lizzie and The Jane Austen Society

A collaboration with Wild Flowers - a Booktique at The Rustic Fox
I have begun a collection of magnets. Edgar Allen Poe and The Raven seemed like a good start! More to come cos me and the lovely owner are working on many more ideas together, bookish and otherwise. At least we’re meant to be, it’s mostly been an excuse for coffee, cake and a lot of nattering.

Back in the nineties, the cheese counter at Harrods had 100’s of cheeses hung over it. It’s hard to find photos nowadays, and this doesn’t do it justice. When I left art school, the first job I had was working for a sculptor and model maker creating molds from the various actual cheeses. Harrods sent us every single type and I spent weeks turning out resin, foam and fiberglass copies.

I can say that some remained edible - sort of after we had finished with them, like huge wheels of Gruyere. Coincidentally, while I was still at college, I had a weekend job on the Harrods Godiva fresh cream chocolate counter. We were allowed to eat what we wanted 🙂.

Luckily survived both jobs without prompting a dairy intolerance.
