What a big day it is for my sister & ! I am so, so proud of Liv and Howard for expanding the bookshop and opening an amazing record shop on Maldon High Street today!
I could share so many gorgeous pictures with you here of beautiful bookshop aesthetics and wonderful window designs, but I’ve decided to share this one which is really special to me.
This photo is from 1st December 2019. It’s the very first photo I took on my phone of the bookshop! Today, over four years later, not only is it twice the size, it’s bursting at the seams with every book you can think of, with a lovely space for Howard to have his record shop in too.
I wish so much that I could go back to that day and tell her what a success this beautiful bookshop would be!
To Liv, I will always be honoured to have been on this journey with you so far and I will never forget the 1st December 2019, before all the books arrived and the bookshop came to life. Endlessly proud of you and always your biggest fan 🩷

Looking forward to the grand opening TODAY from 10am!

How lucky are we to have been visited once again by Ash!
Thank you so much for our beautiful butterfly 🦋
What shall we call her?!
So far we’ve had Leonard the Leopard, Billy the Bird…. 😂😂
Happy Friday to you all, love from Team Ginny’s xoxo
