Tis the season for gifting teachers. If you, like me are tired of candles and dip mixes and yet another apple themed trinket I suggest digging through your hoard stash for something a bit different.
Perhaps I am not the only one who fails to resist the siren song of old books?!
It's a rescue mission I tell you. They cry and I simply must take them. Why will no one else do it? The rafters are bending under the weight...
Anyhoo, I took some old school primers and dressed them up with a bit of crochet doily parts. Added some vintage bling bits from my tins of junque bits.
Ta da, easy peasy.
I sold two of them so need to do up a few more for teacher gifts (oh dear, tomorrow is the LAST day of school and I have been felled by what I can only say feels like the BUBONIC PLAGUE). Pleased with the results and the possibilities.
Yours in gifting,
Carrie

I hear your pain this flu/cold thing has wiped me out almost 2 weeks.. it's a killer. I love your new creations, they should sell out! Very unique. I too cannot pass up an old book! Have a Very Merry Christmas ox
Carrie, I would have loved to have gotten something like this as a gift. Instead, there were lots of soaps, mugs, and glassware! LOL Oh well, the thought was there! Hope you have a Merry Christmas w/your family~ Sue
This is a super cute idea! I should know, ... I'm a teacher and I love it!
Please link up and share it with us over at "What's It Wednesday",
we'd love to have you!
Happy New Year!
Hugs,
Patti
