Lydia and Lulabelle

Lydia and Lullabelle, a 3 signature junk journal with 144+ pages.

This journal is beautiful!! The journal comes with a handmade pocket book purse fashioned from an old embroidered dresser scarf and a smaller embroidered piece as well.

The journal is tied with a length of muslin fabric.

A vintage lady's handkerchief embroidered with the letter 'L' is included as well.

The original book cover from a late 1800 - early 1900 book. It has a red marbled paper cover with corner embellishments.

The original spine was removed and my favorite method for a cloth spine has been used with a sturdy coverlet fabric for outside and canvas fabric on inside. It's been glued to book boards and paper fasteners (5 on each board) makes the cloth spine very secure.

The original front and back inside paper remains and is beautiful. A strip of fabric labels has been glued to where the inside spine fabric ends.

Lots of sewing, lace, trims, doo-dads, tuck spots, pockets, etc. Lots to look at. The book has a variety of coffee dyed pages, book pages, digital stamps and some collage.

Many pages are digital files available on my Etsy shop as well.

Dimensions of the journal are approximately 9 1/8 x 6" with about a 1 1/2" spine.

From smoke free home. Thanks for looking!!
