I am an addicted collector of vintage children's books, however, sometimes I find books that cannot be salvaged and re-loved, but they also cannot be left there to rot so I bring them home and try to breathe last life into these beautiful items. I always use the actual item and not a scanned copy of the page as there is something so special about the print quality, paper stock and aging marks of the original page. Here are some of the things I have made from these books that will be on sale through ONCE.

| Sewn collages using found objects and vintage illustrations |

| Large fridge magnets made from vintage paperback covers |
 |
| Lucky packets and party favours |
Love all your work, love your philosophy of up-cycling and breathing new life into beautiful things instead of them ending up on a tip somewhere.
