Last blog post before I fly away for a while. So many wonderful things to look forward to in London! I promise I'll take photos and share my favourite things when I get back.

There's something about this assemblage that feels very British to me. According to my best knowledge the people (and the dog) in this photo are British, but this is more about feeling than it is about knowing. The Brits tend to have excellent children's books, so maybe this photo reminds me of those stories I read as a child. Maybe the dog reminds me of the crazy Peter Pan human-dog, I don't know. I ought to be in bed instead of here blogging - travel day tomorrow! Listing this piece has to wait until I get back home or things will go totally incomprehensible, but I still wanted to share this one more assemblage before my break. The guest books featured in my previous blog post are now listed in my shop with two other Coptic bound journals, and the shop remains open during my trip, though there's obviously a bit of a delay in shipping.

Good night (or morning), you all! I'll see you in two weeks!
