I just received a locket from Hoolala, the wonderfully creative Etsy shop whose Memento Mori cufflinks I featured on this blog last month; the locket came in a lovely and fun envelope (picture) that was made with a page from a discarded book. Isn't that a fabulous way to recycle books that are too outdated or in too bad a condition to be kept as reading material? (I hope I'm not going to get too much hate-mail from biblio-fundamentalists... I love and respect books too!).
For Christmas and birthdays, instead of buying wrapping paper, I always wrap my presents in magazine pages; they're glossy, colorful and can be chosen to match the gift or the person it's meant for...

Oh, this is a great idea! I've got plenty of great options for this... also, thanks for the comment on my blog!
I'm just learning to recycle all nice papers because I can't buy any nice ones down here.
But I must admit the first time I took a page out from a book I felt I'm killing the whole story- well not any more ;).
Recycling is wonderful!!
Great idea...I love it!!
