The Big Day: Book Launch!

[sister_raphael]

Book launch photos from "The Secret Lives of Single Medieval Women" on Saturday at the Abbey Museum of Art and Archaeology in the new cafe are now up on social media but here's my favourite one: the obligatory Author At The Book Table snap!

It was an absolutely wonderful event and it was a great opportunity for me to gather family, friends, colleagues and enthusiastic supporters all together for a celebration. Guests enjoyed the delicious catering the Abbey Museum events are well-known for, a short but lively talk about the making of the book and a guided tour of the new Art Gallery by Senior Curator Michael Strong. For the more adventurous, we had a Single Lady Scavenger Hunt within the museum and art gallery itself to find and photograph a number of historical lady items which a single woman might have used in her life!

A huge thank you to everyone who came and especially for the Abbey staff who made this little event so lovely!

Thank you also to Nate at Mango Publishing for getting a few books my way for our special day!

Yay! Glad the event went so well, despite the shortage of actual books.

There may be a teeny locked post tomorrow. But by and large, an excellent event with a huge amount of good feedback!

Thank you! It's taken up so much of my time that I haven't posted any crafting stuff on my blog but it's also exciting to have it out and about in the real world now too!
