Vintage Book Bundles

Do you love vintage books as much as I do?  To me, there is nothing more appealing than a stack of old books with interesting spines or covers.  Ok, chocolate might be more appealing to me, or a nice glass of wine, or a plate of pasta, haha!  So lately I have been on a kick creating embellished vintage book bundles!

I tied this bundle together with wonderfully crinkly light mossy green seam binding.  I also used a snippet of burlap from a coffee bag (love that look!), and further embellished the stack with a neat skeleton key, a glittered silk hydrangea blossom, and a vintage French vocabulary card.

 I love the way the stack looks on my silver tray.

 For the stack below, I printed out a gorgeous French bird image from the Graphics Fairy onto a sheet of vintage sheet music.  I tied the books together with twine for a bit of a rustic touch.

 Another skeleton key and vocabulary card complete the look!

 This next stack was really fun to create!  I was thrilled when I discovered both French and Italian vintage dictionaries recently!  I just knew that they would be perfect in a European themed bundle!

 So, I used some fun French and Italian themed papers (I just had to add some glitter to the Leaning Tower of Pisa!!), tied it all together with some twine, and of course another vintage French vocabulary card, and a cute little key that is printed with the word "journey".

 Since I only know a few words in Italian (I don't think "cappuccino" or "gelato" count, do they???), and my French is rusty, maybe I should be keeping these dictionaries for myself, haha!!

If you are interested, I have several vintage book bundles, including some of the ones you see here, available in my Etsy shop.

Ok, now I need to get busy and visit all of you wonderfully talented ladies and see what you've been up to!

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
