I have to interrupt my blogging schedule to tell you about what the wonderful postman delivered this morning. I completely forgot I had ordered this book by the wonderful Mister Rob Ryan, which arrived this morning alongside the tile I bought from his etsy shop a couple of days ago. He is a genius and I just can't wait to sit down later and have a real good look through the book. I first saw his work when he did the Liberty windows a few christmases ago. I ove the bittersweetness of his images. The book is a gem, I particularly like the way the images have shadows, it makes you just want to touch each page. What a star! He has made my day.
See you tomorrow! xxx Edit: Having read this book rather than flicking I realised it a magical story of love and loneliness and dreams. Everyone should own this book. I wonder if it is autobiographical. I simply love it!

I love him too :)
Is it a tile or is it enamel?
Its on a standard tile, so would fit into a bathroom or kitchen wall nicely. Honestly add to your magazine buying week and get the book you will not be disappointed.
Beautiful! And I hadn't even seen his etsy shop before!
Thankyou for telling me about him. The book looks beautiful. Isn't it great when you get a lovely surprise, through the letterbox, that you had forgotten all about?
