the royal wedding

I know, I know, I am the last one to the party on this royal wedding business… I have to admit it is really fun to think about a regular girl next door meeting and falling in love with a prince. We did fight a war to escape the British monarchy, but nevertheless I am really excited to watch the wedding this weekend. I am going to be watching the wedding with my very sweet friend Nikki, yes she is an incredible friend to drink tea, wear a fancy hat and stay up late with me for a wedding and yes, my husband is even more exceedingly grateful for her… or else it would be him! Will you be watching?

vintage book journals

 

I am pretty much a sucker for ANYTHING having to do with old, repurposed books. I love the thought of giving old discarded books new life, I especially LOVE  these journals, made out of old books, from a blog I recently discovered called Swell Jane (if you love all things letterpress and printed you would love this blog as well!). These journals would be make perfect bridesmaid gifts, shower gifts, birthday gifts or hey even a gift for yourself if you keep a journal! The graphics on the end pages are so beautiful and the titles on the covers make me smile!
