\nIn Dec 2018 I created a mini bookish house\/hotel\/library\/castle\/zebra crossing etc. each day leading up to Christmas based on some of our fave reads. <\/p>\n

Luckily with such fantastic illustrated fiction it was easy to copy iconic buildings to hide an advent treat behind.  It was also a fun way to rediscover some glorious books & reminisce about why we enjoyed them so much.<\/p>\n

Here are some close ups and pics of all the wonderful books that they were based on which we highly recommend.<\/p>\n
