another reason we need books

Post by pamcook »

From the etsy shop "Everywhere We Look". Yes, it's made with pages from books.

Lovely! And a great way to use pages from a book that would otherwise simply get tossed and end up in a landfill somewhere.

I'm not tossing unless it's so damaged that it can't be used for something. Matter of fact, I'm haunting the Habitat Restore for dictionaries and other reference books, especially atlases.

Our PTA thrift stores are a great resource for old books, maps & atlases. Do you have them?

No, but we have a very active Habitat store that has a great selection of books. I love that place - for $10 I can find 2 months of reading material and a pile of crafting material, plus the money goes to a good cause. On my last trip I found 5 Anne McCaffrey's and a Ken Follett that I didn't have. You just have to check them to make sure they weren't owned by a smoker and have a stench about them. (And yes, I smoke, but I do it outside so I can smell it almost as much as non-smokers smell it.)

I forgot about Habitat. Ours has a nice book section, too.
Speaking of creating, I think I'll go do so.
