Visit Shoreditch Library at 80 Hoxton Street, London N1 6LP to see the ‘Penny Drops’ window display.

The ‘Penny Drops’ are triangles of doodles and scribbles sewn together with a loop at the top and a penny wrapped in fabric at the bottom. Doodles are possibly unhindered expressions of our innermost thoughts; unfiltered…letting go of preconceptions…with inspiration seemingly coming out of nowhere. Things make sense when ‘the penny drops’.

These ‘Penny Drops’ have been created in collaboration with people of all ages! Toddlers to grandparents! Every contributed appreciated.

The phrase ‘penny for your thoughts’ was coined from a book written by Sir Thomas More.

In the 16th Century a penny was a significant sum of money. Thoughts are valuable and even anonymous opinions can hold weight.
