It's no secret that .norwich has become a firm favourite of ours, with the cinnamon buns getting us through many a long week of building the bookshop and fuelling late nights ordering stock and doing admin ahead of the opening!

So when Sofia announced her new product, Swirl Supremes... we knew we had to try them asap!

This morning, before embarking on a day of decorating our old studio (yes we're juggling two redecorations atm!) we took a trip to to pick up not one, not two, but all three flavours!

After all the painting was done, these were the perfect treat to enjoy! A unique crispy outside with soft inside these were so fun to try, the flavour combinations were (as always with Swirl), absolute perfection!

Well done Sofia, once again you've blown us away and we cannot wait to see what's next for Swirl. It's safe to say though, we'll be customers for life 🤭🌀

Ps. Not a sponsored post, we're just a little bit obsessed 🤭

Oh my gosh this book! I've only just started but I am hooked... I think it's safe to say I am in my Romantasy Era and I am taking all recommendations!

Thank you to for this gifted proof, I think it's safe to say we'll be building all the buzz about this one from the amazing

The deadly competition begins in 2026's hottest fantasy romance debut

You cannot forfeit. You cannot run. You duel or you die.

Astrid has always known she is destined to die. She is the last Nachstern witch and heir to the Queendom of Arturea, cursed to duel her rival from the Kingdom of Vatra for the source of all magic. She only has her familiar, her potions and her wits to aid her; her opponent, Prince Zryan, has a massive Hel-damned dragon. She's going to die, and the chance to cure the Blight ravaging her queendom will die with her.

Deep in dragon country, blade-juggler Skylar is searching for her best friend, who she fears has been taken in the king's conscription of those with Blooded powers. She despises the royals, but the path to find him may just take her closer to them – and the witches – than she would like…

As the duel looms, Skylar and Astrid's fates intertwine, forcing them to choose between loyalty and survival in a world where every decision could lead to ruin.

Set against a once-in-a-generation duel to the death between witches and dragons, Blood Bound is an epic romantic fantasy that will grab hold of your heart and leave you breathless.

A little Small Business Saturday today shouting out the lovely .bricks.silver who first came into my life almost 25 years ago when we started high school (oh gosh I feel old!).
She was truly one of my closest most amazing friends during those teenage years, with so many wonderful (hilarious and emotional) memories that I still looked back on fondly (and with many a cringe at times!)

But as it often does, life happened and we drifted apart as university, jobs and the real world took over. You always think at the time that these friends will be with you for life and you'll know every in and out of their lives, but adult responsibilities and changing paths often have other plans and whilst the love remains the contact fades.

But last year the universe had other plans and at a time when my world was heavy with grief and loss it gave me a little glimmer of forgotten memories as our paths crossed again. Now no longer teenagers hanging out in castle gardens, or texting till our credit ran out, now instead two small business owners finding our way in a busy and fast paced world.

I spent many a month trying to decide which of her lovely pieces I was going to buy, but when she shared her snakeys it was decision made. This little guy arrived last month (on my birthday no less!) and I've rarely been without him since. Her work is absolutely stunning, from the necklace itself to the beautiful packaging, this truly is a lovely piece I will treasure and without a doubt won't be my last! It goes without saying I would highly recommend her for any silver jewellery.

So thank you so much .bricks.silver for both those heady teenage years and the new found paths we find ourselves meeting on now. Here's to the people who come back into your lives and here's to finally meeting up again this year ❤️

This week has been a balancing act between finishing up painting at the shop... and prepping all of this for the event, exhaustion has been at an all time high!

We had such a great time though, it was so lovely to see so many friends as well as meeting some equally lovely new people! To hear that so many of you are following the journey of the shop and already planning visits was so amazing and has left us with such a warm fuzzy feeling! 🥹

Our shop started its in person shopping life at planner events back in 2019 and to have such an incredible community still supporting us to this day and joining us on this next adventure is amazing. We cannot wait to see familiar faces coming through the door.

Thank you to the lovely team and all our fellow stallholders and table buddies for a great event, whilst we were here working it never truly feels like it when you're surrounded by friends 💜

For now though, it's time to get a good night's sleep before going back to the shop tomorrow for wood staining and shelf building!

Our next event is on the 11th April in Manchester, we hope to see lots of you there!
