Launch day! I've just added a whole slew of new products to the store, from art prints and cards, to pocket mirrors and sticker packs.⠀ .⠀ This is definitely one of my favourite of the additions. I've loved this quote ever since I picked up a bookmark from the British Library with it, and knew I had to create something with it. Probably the longest quote I've created so far, but I'm definitely chuffed with it.⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #virginiawoolf #virginiawoolfquotes #bookquote #bookquoteoftheday #books📚 #bookish #booklove #booknerdigan #bookslovers #booksbooksbooks #ilovebooks #ilovebook #ilovebooks📚 #ilovebooksmorethanpeople #bookstagrammersunite #booknerdproblems #readersofig #booksoninstagram #bookstagramming #bookwormlife #bookaddicts #bookaholics #bookillustrator #bookloversunite #ilovereadingbooks #booklr #booknerdsunite #ilovetoread #bookarts #bookwormforlife https://www.instagram.com/p/BoHg_pvnE-7/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=2ffjbxo4qvzf

Here, enjoy some Monty kitten spam 😻⠀ .⠀ Other than being a little shy, Monty (or to give him his full moniker, Baron Isambard Montgomery Bonnieblue - his colouring inspired us to name him after famous engineers. His surname is his family name), is the most contented out of any of the cats I've met. He never seems to be upset or sad, and one of the few expressions he wears that isn't a happy face is a confused or curious one. He loves little more than sleeping in the smallest, darkest places possible (in wardrobes, on a pillow under the bed, at the back of a shelf), and unlike a lot of cats of his breed, actually will sleep in your lap..I can't believe how much his face has changed since his kittenhood 😂⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #Monty #britishshorthaircat #britishshorthairkitten #catsofinstagrams #catkawaii #nekostagram #nekoclub #nekoくらぶ #nekochan #nekokawaii #ねこ #猫 #gato #catloversunite #catsagramcats #catloversunite #bestmeows #instacatlover #kittensofinsta #crazycatladyproblems #crazycatladyforlife #crazycatladyclub #crazycatladylife #crazycatladystatus #crazycatladyandproud #crazycatladyforever #ilovemycatsomuch #weeklyfluffballs #weeklyfluffy #cutecatkittens ⠀ ⠀ (at Belfast) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn8FUf0HlgQ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ysuya5kiswb

Has anyone else here seen the Japanese musical, Memories of Matusko? I've never really been a bit fan of musicals. I guess they are often a little too cheerful for my likes 😬 I think that's why I love this movie; it looks so endlessly cheerful on the surface, but is one of the most depressing films I've ever watched 😢⠀ .⠀ Here's a little illustration I created devoted to this wonderful film. If you want to know more about Memories of Matusko, please take a hop over to my blog and read my thoughts.⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #MemoriesofMatusko #嫌われ松子の一生 #japanesefilm #japanesecinema #editorialillustration #musical #musicals #filmillustration #movieillustration #watercolourportrait #watercolorportrait #watercolorillustration #watercolourillustration #japanesemovie #portraitillustration #ARCrecommends #moviereview #filmreview #Matsuko #松子

Another little snapshot from my trip to Kamakura 🇯🇵 One of the things I love most about travelling is walking through normal non-touristy parts of cities and towns. This was a little area we came across on our walk to see the bamboo grove at Hokokuji Temple. Rather than getting a bus from the main town, we decided to walk instead, and found loads of shrines on the way in a beautiful residential area.⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ ⠀ #ABMtravelBug #wanderlust #TravelTuesday #ExploreMore #ExploreToCreate #passionpassport #welltravelled #justbackfrom #followmetoo #passportexpress #dametraveler #openmyworld #goplayoutside #letsgosomewhere #ourplanetdaily #stayandwander #lonelyplanet #explorewildly #finditliveit #adventuremobile #travelstoke #wonderful_places #kamakura #japantravel #鎌倉市 #japantrip #japan_of_insta #japan🇯🇵 (at Kamakura)
