Book Pillar

This very impressive tower of books is on display at the Ford's Theatre Centre for Education and Leadership in Washington DC. The pillar is made completely from books on Abraham Lincoln. Pretty inspiring stacking!

If your stacking skills aren't quite as impressive (or maybe your still growing your Arbraham Lincoln book collection) you could use the help or our pushing, or leaning book end men - see them in action in our shop.

Bonsai tree houses

Had to share these awesome bonsai tree houses by artist Takanori Aiba. These magical little worlds are created around bonsai trees using mixed medias. I just want to get inside of each one.

Field of Light

After a hectic day Christmas shopping in Bath why not take some time out at the new light installation at the Holburne Museum by Bruce Munro. In the gardens of the museum, surrounding the new extension, is a beautiful 'Field of Light', a sea of relaxing lights in muted rainbow hues. With the nights getting longer and longer this art work creates a tranquil respite allowing the viewer to escape into the shimmering colours.

For another sight after dark make sure you visit the Bath Christmas market - on till the 11th December. Our Bloomsbury stall is full to the brim of our favourtie goodies, and pleanty of fantastic stocking fillers!

Lego!!!

Wow! We LOVE Lego here at Bloomsbury and I am super excited at this concept dreamt up by Access Agency. They plan to build GIANT Lego sculptures as a 'street-level promotion' for our most loved childhood brand.

Here are some photos:

Wow! Right?! For more information here is their website: Access Agency.

New Hirst Sculpture in Bristol

Before; Charity being lifted in to place

And after; on the RWA balcony

On my way to the shop i managed to catch a glimpse of the new Damien Hirst sculpture 'Charity' being lifted into place at the RWA. And then on my way back she was serenely looking out over the Victoria Room fountains.
