Happy #Caturday!

Our joint CEOs Gertie and Gracie were less than impressed to see us leaving the house with a suitcase this morning.

But it’s OK: we’re just commuting to Brighton Art Book Fair all weekend. We’ll be back for a mid-fair scritch tonight…

This weekend!

I’ll have a new thingy, along with old thingies and thingies by other people. It’ll be a hoot!
Next stop: #Brighton!

We'll be tabling - alongside lots of #bookarts greats - at Brighton Art Book Fair on December 6th and 7th. See you all there!

(PS We'll keep the #CPFC #zines under the table - tip us the wink if you want one... 😉🦅)

Michelle visited this wildlife rescue in Costa Rica with her much-missed partner Jamie and witnessed first-hand the amazing work they do.
