As a new mum to 9 month old Skye and a bookbinder - I had to create her a special book.

I've made a photo album to record her first year, choosing just 2 of my favourite pics from each month including her birth .
I've hundreds of digital photos but I much prefer an actual album.

If anyone else would like a custom album made please message me.
Each month is lettered in gold or silver and if you look through the attached photos you can see colour and paper options. Personalised label to front.
Size is 19 x 23cms, album is made for 6x4 sized photos (will hold 26 photos, right page only). Alternative styles of albums are available.
£25 + postage (if you're unable to collect from shrewsbury)

Thanks for your patience. After the birth of my daughter Briar Rose Books is operating again. What better way to get into the workshop than repairing an edition of Peter Pan.

Lady of the lake 1827 edition. Resewn and reloved. This photo is just before bands are worked and head and tails set- but it’s still in need of a label :)
