Yes, it's darker earlier, the weather is dreich, but how warm, cosy & inviting does our bookshop look after dark, especially with the new window paintings?

We even added comfy Chrimbo cushions inside! 🎄🎅

"Edinburgh Booshop"

Jack created this mischievous wee ghost, cheekily rubbing out the "k" in "bookshop".

Painted lettering on the Edinburgh Bookshop window, but a cheeky wee ghost nearby has rubbed out the "K" with a cloth, so it read "booshop" now for Halloween

Jack has worked his magic brushes to create this lovely window celebrating Rob MacFarlane's wonderful Is A River Alive? (Pub Hamish Hamilton), one of our own Joe's favourite #books of the year.

Huzzah to our local Ace Hardware Store for supporting the old tradition of Christmas Window Painting. I remember the wonder of watching a man paint the garage windows of my family's Dodge Dealership in the 1960s. #christmas #vintagechristmas #windowpainting

Another twist for #Fensterfreitag #WindowFriday —

A proud #hen painted on a salvaged sash window. Artist: Mary DeWitt. Mary's work and paintings of women incarcerated in Pennsylvania, sentenced to life without parole, is incredible.

Photo: Hen painted on the glass of a salvaged sash window. The hen has a red comb and wattle and brown feathers. It seems to be roosting. In the distance, on the horizon, is a barn or farmhouse. The window frame is also the picture frame and is painted light beige. Artist: Mary DeWitt, circa 2002.
