Using Vintage Books

I've been sharing some of the vintage treasures that I find at estate sales, flea markets, and antique shops. Here is a little pile of old books that I picked up recently.

I've been looking for an old hymnal for a little while, so I was happy to spot this one at an estate sale. The dark blue/grey book is a 1920s school book. Someone has written all over the inside with pencil, but I think it adds to the charm. I bought the Butterflies and Moths book to use the images as fairy wings or nature backgrounds for some of my projects. I paid $1 for each of these books, which is about my limit for books that I am going to tear apart.

Here is a card that I made with a page from the Butterflies book.

The paper is K&Co "Madelaine." The quote and title are stickers from a Crafty Secrets set. The glittered flowers and butterfly are stickers from K&Co. The other flowers are Prima, Flora Doodles, and whatever else I have in my stash.
