Frothy, feathery,old tea colour, foxed & fantastique!!!



I absolutely adore old timeworn French books. I love them piled high on a shelf or table. Gorgeous tied with a ribbon or old hemp string.






But then.................I also adore them like this.............




I have found this tutorial on "youtube" that explains how to make one......here is the link. ( press on arrow to start).










For years I have walked past the batches at brocantes  as I thought they were not " full books". What was I thinking? I have a huge pile from an attic clearance and I now I realise what I have been missing!!




Now then..................have you seen my glue?


A demain mes belles!!

  3. So cool! Thank you!
    p.s. You and Di seem to get rained on and lashed about a lot. Sounds kind of exciting.
