5 out of 5 starsBeautiful old buttons... some still have thread in the eyes, where it is obvious they were taken off clothing, just like we did when I was a child, to save on the cost of buying more because money was scarce.

About TheReBookery
-
Seeing old & damaged books always breaks my heart. ReBooking them into something charming and useful just feels right.
-
My ReBooks are full of repurposed materials. My favorite part is turning unconventional items into journaling supplies.
-
Nothing is safe from my sewing machine! Not even my business cards which are handcrafted from discarded books.
-
Can you believe this Party Guestbook was once a vintage cookbook?

As an avid artist, I understand the importance of quality materials. Every ReBook is made as if I were the customer.
RePurposing bygone books into curious treasures.
My first ReBook experience was 30 years ago when I swiped a soon-to-be-thrown-out science textbook from a huge pile of antiquated classroom materials. Once home, I began using it as a diary, a journal, a list-keeper, and wish-recorder. Each day I would scrawl across the pages with a fat marker, probably purple. It felt so liberating to put that sad book to use. I imagined that for the first time in its life, it was not stale or dry but vibrant and oh-so-fascinating! I scribbled directly on the scientific jargon and mathematical diagrams adding much needed color to the black and white pages. The best part was when I wasn't writing down my deepest thoughts...the book sat quietly on my nightstand disguised as a plain old textbook. No one was the wiser!
That beloved book is long gone but I never forgot its appeal. Now as a grown-up I still think it is imperative to have a secret journal to hold your plans, dreams, doodles, and stuff of life. As a science teacher (ironic, no?) I shudder at the thought of tons and tons of misunderstood books heading to the landfill. As an avid collector of old, forgotten treasures I come across so many battered books that are crying out for a new shot at being useful again.
After many years of creating these ReBooked art journals and scrapbooks for my own use I am ready to share my passion with others.
I hope you will join me on my mission to ReClaim, RePurpose, ReVive, and ReBook.
