I am keen to up-cycle, recycle, reuse materials I find on my beach or woodland walks. I like to rescue books from flea markets, charity shops and books heading for landfill and to give books a second life. I have included a few of the original pages as a ghostly reminder of its past.

The 100 gsm paper was salvaged from a company that had no use for it (changed logo). The linen thread was purchased from a charity shop.
The endpapers were purchased from V & A museum London
The button is a vintage button from a flea market (1950's?)
