Resources for the Dreamers...
In many ways, this Shop is a physical expression of my love for literature, history, art and folklore, so I felt it made sense to create an annotation page of interesting upcoming events, favourite works and resources that inspire me. An ever-expanding moodboard of sorts, for those days you might be looking for a bit of added inspo! I hope you will enjoy these as much as I do.
