A little bit of a reset yesterday at Forsaken Books! Leslie agreed to let me use the Grinch Tree - I 💚 it!
Our Bag Sale will continue until we run out of bags - buy one for $10 and fill it with FREE BOOKS! (individually priced books only - does not apply to Blind Date books, mini books, crafts, decor books, etc.) We’re all out of the cloth tote bags for now, but I’ve got ✨ideas✨ and as soon as I can make them a reality, we’ll have handmade denim (?) patchwork totes that you can also fill with free books 📚
In addition to books, we also offer:
- reading glasses
- lens cleaning cloths
- handmade glasses pouches and zipper pouches
- handmade book sleeves
- handmade bookmarks (made from reclaimed album covers, art from forsaken books, and reclaimed sweater yarn tassels)
- notebookmark and flat pen sets
- handmade, real bound miniature books
- handmade earrings from reclaimed materials
- handmade Puffy Letter banners (custom orders too!), bag charm/keychains, and ornaments
- NEW framed classical art prints reclaimed from art books, with book page wrapped mats; check out our new gallery wall! Also framed dog portraits (not reclaimed)
- vinyl wall art from reclaimed record albums, a few of these left (and ideas/materials for many more)
- BLIND DATE WITH A BOOK - these were quite popular last year, I have 3 left over and a pile more to do, keep an eye out! These books are wrapped in brown paper and festively adorned with stickers and pockets full of goodies, the genre, and a brief synopsis (or the first few lines of the book) on a handmade-paper card.
- Christmas stickers
- Handmade Christmas card packs
- Christmas cupcake picks
- birthday cupcake picks with kid’s jokes
- book page snowflakes for your card making or decorating needs (other sizes and shapes available!)
- Book page circle garlands (as shown on the brick wall) and colorful book *cover* circle garlands - coming back soon
- Snowflake paper chains! These are my best sellers on Etsy! As soon as I get caught up with orders there, I’ll make some for the shop - you can see the solid ones on the Grinch tree meanwhile. ❄️
-3D printed articulated dragons 🐉 in solid black, or hand painted glittery purple/blues and sunset 🌅 colors while they last! More 3D printed things coming!
When you can get out of your driveway again ⛄️ come browse for books, gifts, and decor!
