Take a Word - Print

There's nothing like nosing through a used book store and finding treasures.  I love the scent of old books,  and I always wonder from whose library they've come.   My lady here is courtesy of Ms. Inman,  book page from Maya at Scrapbookgraphics, elements from Irene Alexeeva.   Thanks for stopping by!

    you are so right... the smell and haptic feeling of a book could never be replaced by an e-book. to be surrounded by a library is one of the best environments i can imagine! great piece!

    Beautiful piece, Bev! I have found old books with photos, notes, pressed flowers and other things in them. I love thinking about who might have put them there and why they were kept.

    Ahh, I see it is advisable to open a used book with care, Bev. Since what you have created inside yours is beautiful. Vintage and gorgeous.
