vintage prints: reused, remade, reloved

I've always been slightly obsessed with paper and printing the old fashioned way. The feel of a nice, thick paper stock. The intensity of the printed ink. The impression of the printed letters. It all started when I trained and worked as a graphic designer back in the mid-1980s.

Years later, a chance encounter with an 1878 antique atlas in a second hand book shop sealed my fate. I'd never seen anything that old, or beautiful. It was far too amazing to be hidden between the covers of an old book - and in that moment the idea for my business - and etsy shop - was born.

I find beautiful old books and rescue their pages so that you can relove them.

I have a lovely studio by the beach in Australia where I keep all the vintage books I rescue. My perfect day involves a stack of books, some Ella Fitzgerald, endless cups of tea, and a few chocolate biscuits.
