MONDAY'S LOVE OF VINTAGE BOOKS~~~~~~~

Another glorious autumn's day here in Melbourne with the sun shining brightly and with not a breath of wind...

I literally have a car boot full of lovely vintage books i purchased from our local op shop for the mere sum of just 20 cents EACH~~

I figured if i messed up with some of my ideas for them, I wouldn't be too out of pocket!!

I already had other ones I had bundled up into like colours/tied with string/ribbon etc...

But today I experimented with covering one in good quality calico and them embellishing with a bit of my "endless supply" of crochet cloths/doilies etc...

PLUS I just had to scrunch up another page from my fabulous vintage french dictionary...& add a hand stamped french peg of mine..

I think I am quite happy with the result...??

Labour Day holiday here in Melbourne today so not much happening...to add to the lack of happenings..my foxtel has "carked" it, so I am unable to watch my lifestyle programmes...!!~~ boo hoo~~

a quick note to all my son's gorgeous Japanese friends..

we are ALWAYS thinking about you....lots of emails & text messages sent with most replying all are okay...

an extra SPECIAL thought from me to Ryoko....Kentaro...Namako...Jimmy & family...& all my other Japanese friends...

take care...

ps..original post was Sunday's love of books..OOOPS!!

I think i am kind of getting the hang of it??..
