Coin coin coin - Guy Kelly's Ko-fi Shop Be…because it’s a duck, yeah? And it’s sitting on a coin. But. BUT. In France, ducks say “coin coin coin”! So it’s…it’s actually pretty cle- wait, whe...

I did some admin! Which, if it all goes to plan, will lead to MORE admin for me!

"Coin coin coin" is now on sale!

A small tabby kitten, with his ears sideways and back, glaring utter daggers at me as I scratch his chin and cheek. He is furious. He is hissy! He might be enjoying it a teeny bit but his face does not share that sentiment. His tabby sister is looking at my hand like "but you could pat me?" She is just behind him.

OMG this FACE.

Cayenne was NOT thrilled with my presence this morning. I made it worse by laughing and baby talking him.

While baristas are on strike, our job is simple: DON’T SHOP AT STARBUCKS.

They’re striking for fair pay and respect and we’re standing with them.

Show the billionaires our solidarity is stronger than their greed.

#NoContractNoCoffee

There is a post circulating on Bluesky encouraging the moving of a frozen turkey straight into a pot of hot oil. We are combating this misinformation the best way we know how - through the power of dance music.

I have one of these. Recommend.

I did it. AND THEY ARE IN THE SHOP!!!!

I’m not offering Black Friday discounts this year because I’m a tiny one woman business and I can’t compete with the likes of Amazon.

What I can offer - unique designs, high quality UK made products, customer service from a real person, a warm and fuzzy feeling because you are buying from a tiny independent business.

I’m not doing Black Friday this year.
I’d rather be honest with you than try to compete with big brands.
Every purchase genuinely makes a difference to my tiny business.
Shop independent this Christmas.

My dog in a red holiday sweater

Okay now it’s the holidays

Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays:

Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink.

If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business.

Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.

Yay, my winter thank you cards arrived! I will be adding them to all the orders from my shop and at my events!

I'll be launching a black Friday sale tomorrow btw

Use, and I cannot state this enough, libraries. UK/RoI authors get paid for library borrows. More than you'd think!

Where I live, in Faversham, the people putting flags halfway up lamp posts are explicit that their agenda is anti-refugee. They could not be clearer about this.

Hey Bluesky do you have recs for general maths books that would be friendly towards neurodivergent kids, preferably with illustrations?
We are trying to learn equivalent fractions and the usual metaphors of pies and slices of pies are just not what kiddo needs

every social media company is bad but Meta really is uniquely evil

Sidenote: I am so glad my kid and I aren't the only ones obsessed with Cookie Run Kingdom storylines 🤗 this collab had us both dissolving into laughter trying to sing the songs dramatically along with the scenes. And occasionally going "and GingerBrave is there for some reason bc of course he is" 😂😂

Books are great Christmas presents.

Easy to wrap.
Low in calories.
Usually somewhere in that not terrible £10-£20 bracket.
Available in many colours.
Can be posted easily (unlike a hoover or two hoovers for example)
Personal to both you and the recipient.

Available to buy from me.

A meme depicting a cat dressed as Zapp Brannigan from Futurama that says "I got your distress call and came as quickly as I wanted to."

"I am the pet with no name... Catt Brannigan at your service."

A pile of 12 books, wrapped in Christmas paper. Each has an even number on it, starting with 2, 4, 6, etc, up to 24. There are also christmas decorations all over the pile of books.

A lot of this weekend has been spent pulling together the Big Green Books Advent Calendars.

It's been REALLY HARD WORK.
But also LOADS OF FUN.

I love picking books for people.

I'll be posting out a few tomorrow and then the rest on Tuesday (hopefully).

No no…we’re listening
