I am a reader. So much so that when I have a big project going on, I will not myself start a book because I get so obsessed that I won’t put it down until I am finished! I think that started because when I read the Twilight series I was out of commission for a full week. Out of commission. Nothing got done, and Edward and Bella were part of my household for daaaaaaays.
So when I saw these decorations using books, I thought it was a very creative use for something I am already fond of!
I love these Penguin Classics. They are classic stories like Pride and Prejudice and Alice in Wonderland but recovered with beautiful fabric. I started my collection last year for my birthday and have already gotten several. (Um, I mean, I have bought several for myself. Happy Birthday to me.)
They make me happy. They are colorful and fun on a bookshelf!
Or, you could take your book and make a clock...

I love this cute dish towel but I cannot seem to find where I orginally found it? Anybody know?
