I loved loved loved this item. It was a custom project and the shop owner went above and beyond for me. The book I wanted had sold, but she spent weeks trying to find another online for me, was successful, created my frame immediately upon receipt of the book and shipped it out to me priority mail. It is BEAUTIFUL - the perfect cast gift for the director of my son's elementary school musical, and she adored it! Even the presentation (wrapping) was more than I expected. These items are uniquely handcrafted and such a timeless treasure to have. I could not be happier and it was worth every single penny.

Tools of the trade.
Hundreds of gorgeous vintage books in all colors and of all subjects!
Each item is, of course, made by hand, and every book frame is different depending on the characteristics of its cover!
Vintage books have such gorgeous detail.

Vintage, unique, lovely & sweet...upcycled, handmade, freshened & chic!

My shop specializes in Anthology Photo Frames: vintage books transformed into unique, one-of-a-kind, and totally readable vintage book picture frames. I began this journey when searching for beautiful vintage books to use as wedding decor and photography props. I started brainstorming ways to display them for their intrinsic beauty, and began creating the book frames.

I love each one so much; the wear, the smell, the texture of the materials, the writing, the history, the fonts and illustrations, the little things left inside by previous owners - the entire life of old books. So, in 2012, I opened the shop and I've been making these little beauties ever since!

All of my books are hand-picked...rescued from the dusty shelves of thrift stores, antique shops, library sales, and other forgotten places. Each book is lovingly chosen, then freshened up and transformed by hand, with the intent of beautifully and uniquely displaying your most precious memories. These make the perfect gift for those who love books, literature, antiques/vintage beauties, art & design, photographers...the list goes on! They're an environmentally-conscious way of uniquely display your most precious memories!
