Remember the old books I found in Sweden
I scanned some of the frontpages
and had fun making little
Bookmark Tags
some Natures Inspired
with stamped Bird and Nest images
and some French Inspired
using a little piece of vintage lace
and muslin with stamped French Themes images.
I think they would be pretty as bookmarks, tags
or in a handmade journal.
I do have plans with the real books though.
Just haven´t had time to get around that.
I´ve also been playing with
one of the old coin purses I found at the same time
The little brown one have got some lace on the front
teadyed seambinding, teadyed lace
an old key
a doily
and a sweet little nest inside
a bit of wire added as hanger
and here´s the finished result.
A sweet little wall hanger decoration.
Will be in the shop later.
*******************
I´m going to show you
a one to one little petite box swap
I did with my friend Lyn.
She haven´t received her box yet, as the Canadian Postworkers
is having a strike, so I´m going to wait until next post
and hope she gets her soon.
Oh
and almost 600 followers I see.
How amazing is that
That means I´m going to start working on a giveaway soon
Thank you so much for visiting today
You all means so much to me.
Wishing you all a wonderful day
Tina ♥♥♥

Hi Tina - looks like you have been having fun with those beautiful old books! The book marks have turned out well and yes would really suit a handmade journal!
What a transformation with the purse - a very sweet nest for a bird. It would look wonderful hanging outside my kitchen actually where the Thrushes breed in Spring.
Hugs to you friend,
Suzy
