Grab a cup of coffee and come thrifting with me — book-lover style! ☕📚
In this video, I’m sharing my latest vintage book haul, packed with charming covers, aged pages, and beautiful illustrations that are perfect for junk journaling, mixed media, and collage art.
You’ll see how I:
📖 Pick books with texture, tone, and character
✂️ Decide what to keep intact and what to deconstruct
🎨 Use pages, spines, covers, and illustrations in art projects
💌 Repurpose damaged or forgotten books into something new and inspiring
Each book tells a story — and today, we’re giving those stories a second life through art.
