books and leather!

This week I received in the mail a fantastic piece of lambskin. It is a beautiful shade of chocolate brown and is amazingly soft. One of my favorite things about working with this kind of leather is that each piece is different. You can tell that it its real because of the uniqueness and even imperfections that exist in each individual piece.


So my project for last night was again to mix two of my favorite things and to cover a couple of books with it.




Below is a custom 10x14 album with black pages. Soon this baby will be the photo guest book at a lovely vintage style wedding.

This smaller but equally wonderful agenda is approximately 5x7 and is covered from head to toe in this fantastically soft and unique piece of leather.


The inside of this book is made with archival quality, acid free, creme colored paper. This agenda can be used for any year as it does not have the day of the week corresponding to the date. It is super easy to use and a great size to throw in your bag and take with you on your adventures.








Both will be in the shop shortly. ~xo
