Welcome!

I’m so glad you’re here. I’m Jenny Williams, artist, author, and creator of Carrot Top Paper Shop: an online gift shop for book lovers and kindred spirits. I am passionate about nurturing creativity and approaching every area of life with a heroine mindset. Make yourself comfortable, won’t you? And I’ll pour you a glass of “raspberry cordial” …

Calling all picture book lovers … this one by @k

Calling all picture book lovers … this one by @katyrosecollection with pictures by @thai.phuong.artwork is a delight.

If you love an original story, nature themes and metaphors, a beautiful heroine transformation, and writing that makes it very satisfying to read aloud (alliteration, a punchy vocabulary, and a lovely rhythm), I think you will love Miss Prim!

5 out of 5 from my kids and me!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

@katyrosecollection congratulations and happy release day!! Congrats to the team at @waterbrookmultnomahkids and to @donpape for always finding the good stuff.

Turned in my manuscript for my next book today!

Turned in my manuscript for my next book today!

I can’t wait to tell you the title, and what it’s all about, but I can’t quite yet.

I can tell you it involves literary heroines ... but that’s probably a pretty safe assumption by now.

Anyway, I’m feeling very, very grateful and eager to share something with you, so I’ve put my entire shop on 25% off if you need a gratitude mug or bookish stickers or bright and cheerful postcards to send to your friends (or enemies!).

Now to decide what neglected task of the past several months I should turn my attention toward ... (Do I write books just to avoid deep cleaning my bathroom? A question for another day.)

Lorilee and I were very honored (and surprised) to

Lorilee and I were very honored (and surprised) to discover Eat Like a Heroine won a 2025 Illumination gold medal in the keepsake/gift/specialty category!

(We didn’t know we had been entered, hence the surprise).

It was also just announced that Eat Like a Heroine is a finalist in the 2025 Selah awards, in the “inspiration/gift” category.

(Winners will be announced in May, and of course I’ll keep you posted.)

🙏💐A super-size puffed sleeves thank you to all of you who have purchased our book, left a review, sent us a DM or email telling us how much you enjoyed it, shared it with a friend, requested it from your library, etc.

I wish we could all gather for a spring picnic in Avonlea, which would begin with a toast of gratitude toward you, of course, and end with Lorilee presenting her perfectly executed marzipan hedgehog! @thebooksellersdaughter

💕BOOK GIVEAWAY💕

This is a quote from Eat Like a Heroine, and because we think Galentine’s Day is a perfect opportunity to celebrate a Heroine POV, Lorilee @thebooksellersdaughter and I would love to give one of you a copy of our book!

To enter is easy!

1) Like this post
2) Tag a bookish foodie friend in the comments, tell us your favorite Valentine treat, or share this reel (or all of the above — each counts as an entry).

If you’ve already entered to win on Lorilee’s reel, entering here will just equal additional entries. 🥳

Good luck, Kindred Spirits!

In our chapter Holiday Like a Heroine, we highlight a few Valentine’s Day food scenes in the heroine novels.

Whether it’s Katy Carr’s pink iced cakes in What Katy Did, or Maria Theresa Mirabal’s red menu for her sister and her boyfriend in The Time of the Butterflies, the heroines show us how a little extra effort can set off a lovely ripple effect of delight in our corners of the world.

Really, what CAN’T postcards do?

Not only do they carry our greetings across the world for under a dollar … they can also adorn your bookshelves very stylishly.

Bonus, these 4x6 acrylic frames snap together with such a satisfying CLICK.

📬Postcards are such a fun alternative to sending a lengthy letter! It’s like sending a little piece of art in the mail.

💌They don’t require as much time, but they can still be super thoughtful. Do you like sending postcards?

If telling your friends you love them and sharing your love of all things bookish is something you like to do around Valentine’s Day, be sure to check out my Valentine sale — 25% off select postcards, stickers, and note cards!
