A few snaps at Heather Jane & Co #Tavistock shop from my annual stock-checking trip. There's so much packed into the space here, with everything from a #stationery wall to local #artwork, #handmade #candles and #ceramics. Do pop in and see for yourself if you're in the area.

I thought I'd highlight a few of the bricks and mortar shops where you can still buy my cards and teas in the run-up to Christmas.
First up - Fisherton Mill Gallery in #Salisbury
They've got a café full of the most delicious-looking cakes and bakes as well as the #gallery.

The last Christmas post has gone - thank you to everyone who ordered from my #SmallBusiness this year. I've taken my Christmas stock down from my shop now, but will stay open for another couple of days for any Birthday cards etc. before closing for a short Christmas break.

Had a go with charcoal for tonight's #DrawingIsFree session. Getting out of my nice comfy pencil zone. Easier to get some of the shading in quickly but harder to do details. Sometimes helpful not to get bogged down in detail for these 3 minute-ers anyway #Hard!
