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!

  7. 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.
