In appreciation of a generous friend

A while back, Beth gifted me a bagful of vintage paper scraps, odds and ends, plus a pile of delicious, old linens.

Inside the bag of goodies was a book cover she had started but never finished.

There was wonderful ephemera, original and printed along with pages of cardstock she had stamped too.

And the lace!

Oh! The lace!

 I see fairiy dresses galore in my future.  So many great bits and bobs to craft with.

As a thank you, I finished putting her book cover together into a junk journal she could embellish.  The only item I used that wasn’t part of her de-stash, was this Charlotte tag.

 I decorated the cover with a sweet button card that was in the pile of never ending, vintage goodness and used the two remaining buttons on it as a clasp to wrap a string around as a closure.  It was hard for me to stop at that point. I adore crafting a book, but I wanted her to have fun adding tidbits to the interior.

Thanks, Beth!
