We did it! Feed&Read’s first pop-up was on Sunday 16th December 2012 at Bearspace Gallery in Deptford. We laid out the seasonal cakes. Displayed our upcycled homemade crafts. And set up the book swap-and-shop. People came! Everyone bought tea and award-winning cake. And ate it all up. They swapped pre-loved books. And shared their thoughts … Continue reading
BYOB. Books we mean, not booze.
We’ve been asked by a few people ‘why are you having a book swap and shop? Don’t you want to sell them all and make money?’ In a word, no. For one thing, Feed&Read has never been about making money. It’s about fostering a creative community, inspiring good lifestyle behaviours and seeing what two friends can … Continue reading
We’ve got a Golden Ticket with Charlie’s Award-Winning Cakes

Card creating (and wine drinking)
Holly and I have been spending our free evenings snipping, sticking, stamping and sipping wine to make cards, bookmarks and business cards. The business cards are great for stamping out any of the days frustrations, the bookmarks require a steady hand (these are the nights when the wine comes after the making) and the cards, … Continue reading
Cute, Crafty Business Cards
We wanted our business cards to be environmentally friendly and completely unique. They are made from 100% recycled card and reused string, which comes with our weekly organic vegetable boxes. In fact, the string was recycled before that too, so it’s living yet another new life! We had Feed&Read stamps made especially, which means we’re … Continue reading
