how the future will imagine now

I was having a conversation my friend who was telling me about London Mithraeum an archaeological discovery in London of the Roman era, nearly 2000 years ago. As she explained to me what she had learnt it prompted me to think of the similarities to two books I had read recently: The Power by Naomi…

the importance of books

The threat of ‘books will become obsolete’ gets thrown around every time some new technology emerges. It feels safe to say that books are here to stay, maybe it’s the human nature of needing to tell stories? Of course the format has expanded, and in some ways become more inclusive. (eBooks, Kindle, audiobooks, not to…

fortune favours the bold

As the winter darkness sets in, it’s time to inject some bright colours! It’s cold, it’s wet, it’s dark when I get up, it’s dark by three, oh how British of me to talk about the weather. But when’s it’s gloomy outside I need something to brighten me up and I naturally gravitated to these…

a new shade of grey

One of my favourite things about using leather scraps is the limited edition aspect. I’m getting more sentimental personalisation these days especially as people love to give more personalised gifts. These leather magnetic bookmarks make a great gift for the bookworms in your life. I made these as I like to take my book around…
