Junk newspaper handmade and bound with vintage papers in an hotsell old French book for total upcycling: ideal as a seamstress's notebook!

This vintage book is now a bound notebook of eclectic pages: you will find invitation cards, menus, pages of old books and almanacs, and other antique papers! Lots of nods to sewing.
The cover is sublime, the view of the hills behind the window, a desk on which is placed a book or notebook bearing the name Marie.

Size:

Ø Pages (front+back = 2 pages): 104 pages
Ø Height: 18.8 cm
Ø Width : 13,3 cm
Ø Slice thickness: 2.2 cm

This book is composed of 3 notebooks connected to the slice by hand with cotton thread. A ribbon closes the notebook but can be removed.

More than a notebook, an upcycled book, these are stories, memories of the first reading of a favorite book. And to upcycle these old books that I collect full of dust, tasks, is to offer them a new life and avoid them the trash.
WWF estimates that depending on the scenarios hotsell, the end of life (household waste and recycling) would concern 107,000 to 233,000 t/year of books, all sources combined.

The notebooks I propose have been washed but they can have marks, stripes, discoloration, or other. It's upcycling, not new. But it is in old books that we make the best notebooks!

Expedition:

The items are packed in tissue paper and shipping is made via Colissimo. I try to reuse cardboard packages already used to limit the impact on the environment, but sometimes I do not have any on hand and therefore use new ones that I invite you to reuse later for your own shipments.
