i'm lucky enough to have one of my favorite books from my childhood....but as you can see it was well loved.
but there was no way i was getting rid of it. i love the memories associated with it as well as the vintage illustration style....from the big illustrated letters to the colors used throughout. recently i saw someone cover a canvas in a sort of collage of old book pages, but i didn't really want that look and i didn't want the illustrations to be covered up. i decided to matt and frame my favorite pages and use them as holiday decorations.
i love that they're up on display now and i don't have to pick up the book that was falling apart to look at them. the hardest part was deciding between the front and back of a couple of pages.
