Went to Ditchling Arts & Craft Museum today.
Some lovely people selling lovely things there. The loveliest of all was an ex librarian called Jen. She’s on Instagram @bookyjen and is worth a follow if you like old library stuff such as date stamps with ink pads & card catalogues. Which I do! 💚

If I’m being honest, I’m feeling pretty crap about my small business.
It’s so bloody difficult at the moment with rising costs, US tariffs, Brexit nonsense and the threat of AI.
Please have a look at what I do and repost to spread the word gailmyerscough.co.uk
