Day 19: Celebrating #IndieBookshopWeek

Today is the start of Independent Bookshop Week, and the culmination of our #PhotoChallenge.
Normally, IBW would be spent visiting schools and nurseries and playgroups and generally being out and about bringing you fun books and event activities.
Just because we can't get out to you, doesn't mean the fun stops!
We'll be uploading and sharing activities and book links all week, so please like or follow us!
We also have several of our #HighFiveForBookshops vouchers left - one per family - which will get you a FREE £5 Book Token (to spend at #NickelBooks or any local independent bookshop), so please contact me to get your code!

Day 17: Tell me you're a bookseller without telling me you're a bookseller.
"Oh, that book looks interesting, I'll buy that and try a recipe to post it on my page...."
It's delicious, by the way!

Day 14: it's the little things.

We've got some new chickens, one of which is a bantam. As well as being a tiny hen, she lays tiny eggs! (Picture includes a normal sized egg so you can see how little!)

Day 11 "Hidden in a book"

It's been a while since I found something hidden in a book. So I thought i'd show a little video of thr adventures you can find hidden in a book!

Day 10: Favourite Display.
I'm going #flashback for this one.
I was looking through my old shop photos and I found this one of Eleanor advertising Independent Bookshop Week (when it was still Independent Booksellers' Week) - 2012

Day 9: Diary Of A Bookseller

Dear Diary, today I got my #HighFive vouchers through the post. I'm really excited about this, because 100 of my customers can get a FREE £5 Book Token to spend in my shop on fantastic books!
#BookTokens can even be redeemed on my website (www.nickelbooks.co.uk), so I'm just waiting for people to ask in the comments for their voucher! (If they're not local, I'll PM a photo of their code)

Day 7: Our Hidden Superpower.

I'm showing a flashback to 2018's Independent Bookshop Week, when we were sent fabulous superhero capes!
Our hidden superpower is getting the right book to the right child!

Day 5: #Shelfie

Technically not my shelf, but a selection of books that a group of children from a local school chose for their bookshelf.

"Green... and might be about animals...."

Using today's prompt as a way to show off some loosely related stock!
Green is my favourite colour :)

Day 3: Route to the Shop.
As my shop is technically in my house, I don't have a route, as such.
So I thought i'd share screenprints of my website instead - that's your route to my shop!

Day 2: what's in a name?

Many of you know this story already, but here goes!
When I was at uni, one of my major essays was on Nickel-based superalloys. I got a bit obsessed with nickel, and when I had to get my first grownup email address, my friend Rebekah set me up with nickelbabe as my email username. That name stuck, and I became nickelbabe on the internet. When I opened my bookshop, the name just clicked, and there we are!
