Celebrations

Although it is wonderful to have another project to look forward to (and thank you so much everyone who has either given or sent me embroidered linens... it has made the job so much easier) but there are still a fair number of books to be made first. It was inevitable that some would be for special occasions such as significant birthdays.


There are a couple that are for fabulous fifty year olds.


Blizzard books, silk covered boxes, embroidery, ribbon and lace.



and another for a sensational sixty year old...


with more silks and ribbons and lace.


But I've only been asked to make one book to celebrate a wedding, although it my be my new favourite so far.


A lace covered folding book with pockets to hold little tags with
 "Old, New, Borrowed and Blue" encased in a lace covered matchbox with its own bouquet of flowers.


And should you by any chance want to own one of these little books of your own there is just one more in the etsy shop

  10. The books are so amazing! Such a great way to raise money and give so much pleasure back to the person donating. I can't wait to get my book (no pressure for a completion date).
