Your August Calendar...

Here's the August page from the 1898 Lucile calendar, perfect for August 2011 as well. Don't forget to click twice to get the largest size before saving to your computer.

I've really enjoyed this calendar. It matchs this year, and the illustrations have been so beautiful in my gluebook. I've really had fun with this one.

Unfortunately, next year is a leap year which is making it doubly hard to find a great calendar to match the months. I'll keep working on it!

New Etsy Listings...

In case you're shopping on Etsy today, I have some new listings in my shop, like Vintage Book Cover journals, old CDV pictures and some collage sheets. I've also reactivated a few old favorites, some are limited, others one-of-a-kind. Here are a few pictures, you can view everything I have available HERE.

 
 
  
 

 
I hope you'll take a moment to stop by!

Selling Books?

Yep, I'm selling a few of my books. Complete, untouched, intact, actual books. Not just the pages, or the covers, these are in good enough condition that I thought you might like them as is. They'd be great for scanning the illustrations, using as altered books, using the covers in a handmade book, heck, whatever. They'd also be lovely to display, and I suppose you could even read them if you want to!

Click on the title to go to the Etsy listing if you'd like one...

First Up: The Meadow Daisy

 
 
 
 
 
 
Next, an amazing edition of Five Little Peppers Grown Up. It has over 40 illustrations!

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
and finally, Count Up the Sunny Days. You might want to alter this one. It has a sturdy spine, great cover and just a few illustrations to work around.

 
 
 
 
 
Aren't they all pretty? Let me know if you have questions about any of these! I'm de-stashing so I may have more books for you soon!

Your September Calendar Page!

Here's your calendar page for September. I hope you enjoy using it and send me a picture of what you make! 

 

This is from my 1897 Ernest Nistor calendar printed in Bavaria by E.P.Dutton & Co. of New York. I hope you enjoy it!

New Ephemera Book and Download Collection

I've been catching up on some to-do's, including some I promised a few of you a while back. 

Quite possibly the nicest Ephemera/Gluebook Kit I've ever compiled is available right now. The pages in this one are amazing.

 

 

See more pictures in the Etsy listing HERE.

For those of you who like to use the real thing, a few genuine Logomachy card sets are available right now too.

 

The Bible Verse Calendar is finally scanned and compiled for online delivery. I've included all of the months as jpegs plus 6 PDFs already prepared. Print the PDFs, cut them out, add ribbon and you have an instant desk calendar. You won't have to adjust sizes.

You can buy it on Etsy and I'll email it to you, or buy through my e-store if you like immediate delivery.

 

And I got smart and made the Your Vintage Gluebook online class available on Etsy for the first time, in case you prefer to shop there.  I created a couple new pics for the Etsy listing, so I'm showing them here too:

 

I think that's it for now! Thanks for checking out my offerings!

Ephemera Book, Journal, Gluebook, Whatever...

I've been making ephemera book kits this weekend, I haven't done that in a long time! 

I recently had some questions about using these kits to make gluebooks. This time I added even more papers, especially the kind I use in my own gluebooks, like pages from French dictionaries, old readers, travel books , etc.   

 Here are all the kits, all ready to go: 

 

 Three are listed on Etsy so far.

  I'm planning to have the other two listed by tomorrow. The link to all of the book kits is HERE.

Such Beautiful Covers...

I did a bit of shopping this week, and found some incredible book covers. I'm using them for Ephemera Book Kits and listing them in my Etsy shop. You can click on any of the pictures below to find out more...

This kit uses one of the new book covers and may be my favorite - isn't this gorgeous? 

 

And this one's title, The Story of Paper, is just too perfect for most of us....love the illustration on the cover:

I have one set of empty book covers available. They've been 3-hole punched and come with binder rings, and even some silk ribbon, so they're ready for you...

 

I also found some great jewelry... 

    

And these cool bird cards from Chamberlain's remedies:

 

Also in the shop this weekend, there are just 2 of the loose ephemera packs left...
