Rebound Designs - Eco-chic Bags

rebound designs handbagsWe are in the process of moving everything out of our city house as we have just sold it. We have a library full of books and we have had to clear it. We have given masses to charity shops but have kept the valuable ones. In our cottage there is no room for a library - I will miss it.
But take a look at this. A girl named Caitlin of Rebound Designs has taken old books and turned them into handbags. Now before you go off it and scream about destroying books, she keeps the pages which she only takes out if they are damaged and she has them all in her attic so you can have them with the bag if you so desire.
She has shiny new covers and old and interesting ones with scuffs and fingermarks.
Oh and by the way I included the little logo at the top, it's a collective of crafts people called Crafty Bastards in which Caitlin seems to play a big part- isn't that sweet?

I can remember when I had to pack up my library into boxes....and some of them still "lives" there...can`t wait to create a place where I can "free" them all again

This handbags are a total new thing to me....looked at the site...they are very very nicely done
