#5 Call to action: Prioritise local procurement 📍 #BookShopLocally

As Adam from The Kew Bookshop explains here, ‘local procurement is responsible procurement’

By purchasing books & goods from local retailers, municipalities support the long-term longevity of these businesses.

Drawing a scene from my book ‘The Last Tree’ on the wonderful The Kew Bookshop today. Kind of getting hooked to spending my days in bookshops and drawing on glass. #book #book lover #book shop #drawing #posca #artist #author

We have so many beautiful items coming to our market this Sunday inc Lydia. See our full list of stalls for October kewvillagemarket.org/stalls/ cc My Richmond Richmond Council Richmond Card LivingInMagazines The Kew Society The Kew Bookshop AvenueClubKew

I do occasionally draw on things other than paper so if you’re a stockist (or would like to be) and you’d like me to come draw on your windows like the lovely folks at The Kew Bookshop then drop me a line.
