Shabby Book Wrap for a Handmade Paper Address Book


To start this post I would just love to say "thank you so much"
to all of the wonderful people that keep coming back
to see the next thing I will be creating
and
for leaving such amazing comments
and 
also to all of my new Followers - you keep me inspired!


I used this beautifully hand crafted, handmade paper
Address Book
to create
this 
Recycled Fabric Book Wrap.


Every piece (except for the felt base) has been
recycled, and in come cases,
coffee dyed





and the materials consist of some vintage upholstery
fabric (washed and washed by moi several times)
embroidered doily tablecloth,
vintage curtaining,
cut lace tray cloth,


a vintage scarf, broderie englaise lace,
sheer embroidered lace,
part of a cotton blouse,
mop buttons
collaged
layer by layer and oh! quilted also


and a vintage key with string.


(Inside back cover).
Now this will be going into my Etsy shop,
most likely tomorrow 6th June
so if anyone is interested
in purchasing
this book
prior
to inclusion into my shop
(click on above name - below blog header)
or
 just email me at suziqu@tpg.com.au

Be kind to one another
as life is short
and 
precious!

xx Suzy

So wonderful dear Suzy, love all the different lace you have used for this address book cover and what I love about the inside is that you made it and not used a new address book. Hope you are doing well, wish you a lovely day.
