My Fabulous Monday!

I went to my mailbox to leave something for my postman, and guess what was waiting for me?


A beautiful package from Thespa, of VintiquitiesWorkshop.


The most beautiful, dear, sweet, exquisite creation I have ever laid my hands on!  A pocket journal with so many details that you won't believe it!


The cover has a beautiful antique lace flower.


Adorned with a tag and crystal.  
 

There is another beautiful crystal on the cover that Thespa altered with the word "Friend."  She took the word friend from an old hymnal.

The insides are a wonderful mixture of antique and vintage ephemera that Thespa beautifully layered together.


Did I mention that there are no photocopies in this book?  All originals.  I so wish I could take beautiful pictures so you could see all her details.  Here is a sweet pocket that Thespa stuffed to the gills with more ephemera! 


This sweet clown was between the pages.  I love her!

Thank you, sweet Thespa!  (go check her out here...)  So much talent you have,
you have no idea how much I adore your creation!

  3. Such a gorgeous little treasure! The best part is that the recipient adores it so much. :)

    Can I just say that when I first glanced at the title (which was in a smaller font on my "dashboard") I thought it said "My Fabulous Monkey!" I couldn't imagine what you would have to say about that!

    It's probably time to get my eyes checked...

  10. What a neat book. And all of it is vintage, I like the idea of no photocopies. That's what makes it so special and of course the fact that her talent is in every page and detail. Thespa sent it to a special lady. Thank you for showing us all the details of your new vintage book.

    Blessings,
    Linda
