New Stockist: Wildflower Cottage Bookstore in Angier, NC
I am so thrilled to share this news with you all!
You can now purchase my fore-edge painted books in person in the beautiful new bookstore in Angier, NC: Wildflower Cottage Bookstore. It’s the CUTEST bookshop. To give you a sense of the space, it’s cottagecore meets Southern Georgian style to honor the architecture of the surrounding downtown buildings. Whimsical, cozy and mysterious with insanely cool 3d printed dragons throughout the shop with jewelry, bookish gifts, and the most glorious amount of fantasy novels to browse. They even have a game room! and candles! I’m truly honored to have my work for sale alongside so many of my favorite books in such a thoughtfully designed space.
