On our thrift store hunt for a coffee table to fix up, I found this little gem for $2.49. It is a vintage book called "The Blue Fairy Book". I am not sure if this a first edition or not. It isn't marked with a date but an owner did inscribe on the front cover 1923.
The book is a little beat up so I tied it up with some ribbons to keep the spine from being damaged further.
Here are a few other books I've jazzed up since they were damaged.
Sometimes the covers or spine are so damaged I can't save them so I have taken them off completely.
so pretty! My fave is the burlap ribbon...I have a few rough-looking books that I can spruce up. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteNice idea! I have a few antique books and I've been wanting to make them more noticeable on my bookshelf. I think something like this might do the trick.
