I saw the greatest thing at a local craft fair, Craft Lake City, last month! A vendor couple (who I unfortunately cannot remember their names and I don't believe they sell regularly or online) was selling these repurposed notebooks. They found vintage books at libraries, thrift stores, or garage sales. Then they rebound them with white paper, leaving a few remaining pages. I think the only way to prove my love is to admit that I bought 7. It all happened so fast, I don't know what to say. I wonder if Nancy Drew will mind that her book has been turned into my notebook... and then I wonder if my sketches will become very spooky? (Insert ghostly oooh!).
>> I just got back from Luncheon-ing with the lovely Lizzy behind The Luncheon Project! I think this is such an amazing blog and I feel lucky to be apart of it. More news TBA about that ASAP, HAGS!
what a great find! i love the thought that these books, based on what they were, could influence your creations in them! so cool!!
ReplyDeletewhen I was there this summer I bought a couple from them, greatest idea ever :)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this idea! If you find out their names and they sell on-line will you post?
ReplyDeletelegit.
ReplyDeleteI even read that Nancy Drew. Great idea! I've been following The Luncheon Project for quite some time. Love their interviews. Excited to read yours:)
ReplyDeleteWe made those for classes in art ed! I loved mine, but they were never as cool as some of the others. And I'm glad you bought seven, crazy pants.
ReplyDeleteI bought one last year at Craft Lake City when I was there as a vendor. It's called "How to Win at Wrestling." The guy was like, is that suggestive? I said, not really. I just want to win at wrestling.
