🚨The Haunted Librarians’ Guild Theme Reveal🚨 I’ve been building up the True Crime section of The Haunted Library for a while now and I’ve finally got enough to warrant a True Crime theme release 🥳🥳 but the release this time will be a little different to how it’s gone before so please read on! Firstly, I want to make it totally clear that I have designed these boxes with an utmost reverence for the sensitivity of this subject, it in no way glorifies serial killers and none of the items I have designed for the box will reference specific people or cases, that’s just not my bag and it’s not the sort of culture we hold here at the library. Secondly instead of a fastest finger first race to my Etsy shop I am offering a pre-order period for this box. The True Crime box will go on sale this Friday at 8pm and ore orders will be available to purchase until 8pm on Sunday night and will not be available after this time. The lead times for the boxes will be 4 weeks. I’ll pop a countdown in my stories which gives you the chance to turn on a reminder for the release

Hey hey look who it is! I feel like I've spent weeks waiting for various late deliveries and that's probably because I literally have! Just can't catch a break at the moment 😬 Luckily for me I have a haunted library I can wait in and it's the perfect place to work on issue 2 of Tell the Bees 🐝 I think you're gonna really dig the theme for this next issue 🎃

What's the point in being a painter with a haunted

What's the point in being a painter with a haunted library if you don't make yourself a sign? I've been absolutely blown off my feet working on commissions (and about to get a lot busier!) so I've been working on this in the evenings in front of the telly because of course I like to relax after a long day of painting with more painting 😂 just needs a coat of varnish and somewhere to hang 👻
