Beautifully crafted. More beautiful in person than in the picture. Just know that they are not stickers. You have to use glue.

On Etsy since 2007

Blue Bird bookplates, adapted from the end papers of a very old children's hymn book my mother loved as a child.
Bookplates for children instill a pride of ownership and a love of reading.
My very first bookplate design, motivated by the desire to give a unique gift to a child who had *everything* :)
An insight into the work: the original scan (left) and the finished bookplate (right).
I've been so honored and thankful to have Oiseaux featured by these amazing websites and publications! xoxo

A love of books and vintage children's art

My designs come from my personal collection of vintage books from the 1920's, most of which belonged to my grandparents. I cherished many of the books when I was a child, and I am so happy to bring these gorgeous illustrations to life again!

Creating each bookplate design is often a lot of work: since my old books are well-loved, there is quite a bit of repairing to do. Each vintage illustration is carefully scanned, cleaned, and brightened up... then sometimes completely redesigned to fit a bookplate format. The end product is what you see in my shop: beautiful vintage designs, waiting for your books!
