measures 5.5 x 7 cm (2.2 x 2.8 inches).

- Leave a comment to this post telling me which is your favorite book from my Etsy shop.
- Leave another comment if you are a follower of my blog (and double your winning chances!)


The winner will be chosen on January 28 by the Random Number Generator.
If you don’t have a public contact address please send me your email or write it with your comment, or check back on 28th to see if you won.


Good luck!!

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!
