I’ve always liked the idea of giving away something made by me. Before starting on Etsy I used to offer my books to my family and friends. Now I’m thinking it’s time to offer one of my miniature vintage journals to someone out there who enjoys my work.

Lucky me :)
What could be better for a bookbinder of vintage journals than to find authentic vintage supplies? I was so thrilled to find this beautiful waxed thread for sale last weekend. Real collector’s item! My only regret was that the man only had 4 spools left. Three of them were produced by Droulers-Vernier, Lille - a French manufacturer specialized in leather industry, active from the 19th to the first half of the 20th century.
Lucky me!

Amazing Vintage Finds
Bucharest is a great place to go on trips looking for vintage stuff. That’s what I’m doing while here, and look at the treasures I found this Saturday at the flea market!
