Just finished re-reading Left-handed Booksellers of London as an audiobook and now partway through Sinister Booksellers of Bath. Love both, but it's so different listening to them as audiobooks!

If you want to use acrylic paints, you can either get the outdoor formulation or wait until they are completely dry & spray it with sealer for acrylics (mod podge makes one). There are some good ideas books out there. Acrylic paint markers are the best way to write words, I've found.

Apparently they are likely to find stuff they like better than whatever they have and 'trade' what they have for it, which given what even us across the pond have seen the Tories doing... Well. Yup

Almost cancelled 📚Paint Kindness Rocks program (the wall painters were in the room until after we started, and it was the afternoon before a holiday.
Folks, I had 10 people! I ran out of rocks & had to pull out some other paintables! I only scheduled it because First Wed of the Month is painting!

I mean, I read it but I also couldn't help envisioning him as a literal packrat (aka trade rat) acquiring things for his midden.

"I told him, I said, he can't survive in this political climate if he, if he makes more gaffes like that. One or two more like that, and he's sure to lose. And he said, I know, Kenough, I know..." (Little guy's read on a strategy discussion he was on the fringes of.)

Yeah, that'd last until she was the candidate and the owners of major news services took aim at her, then they'd remember everything they disliked and run around the politisphere saying 'Harris can't win, we gotta get someone else!'
