Oh what fabulous books... treasures!!!! The only thing more fun than junk journal making is searching for illustrated books to use!! Thanks for sharing

That butterfly and month book is beautiful. I often find books from the 60’s with the best images and that mat paper that is so nice.

You found a Graham Johnstone What a find!!! Make sure you keep that one!! Omg!! The illustrations are over the moon!! 😳🥳🥳

[danielesinhorelli]

Totally agree with you. Handel and Gretel is sad and cruel. But if we stop to think about, lots of fairy tales are. Nevertheless, I still love finding the old ones. The illustrations are great and so inspiring. Love all the books you found ❤

[LedgerAndLace]

LOVE the butterflies & moth book! Glossy pages like the Victorian book make good envelopes--sturdy and take sewing well. Also, you can use clear gesso to dull the shine, or a matte spray. 🙂

a layer of Rustoleum Frosted Glass Spray Paint turns shiny pages/papers an absolutely perfect matte and doesn't leave a spray paint smell

Those books are beautiful the butterfly and scapbook are my favourite I had never thought of using pages without pictures thanks for the inspiration. please take us with you to the dump shop.

[Chuloon]

Beautiful books you scored! This is one of my favourite pass times looking for older illustrations like these

I love the moth and butterfly book . . . and as a bookjunky who buys books just to alter them in all kinds of stuff, it would not only be great for the use of pages, but to alter the outside as well . . . would be a total win win find for me and I do understand why you are so happy about it . . . 😉

I love the illustrated books. I’ve found some great ones at the $1 table and free books box at my local used bookstore. For the Victorian Scrapbook or any book I’m not quite sure what to do or don’t have the heart to cut into yet, I’ve been making a color copy of the illustration and then using the copy in my journal. I’ve been using them as part of art collages but some of those look like they’d be good for making tags and pockets

A lovely haul - especially the butterflies and moths book. Thank you for sharing.

[susankayej]

Wonderful and inspiring finds Johanna! Love them all, an absolute treasure trove. The butterfly book cover and illustrations are especially beautiful. Great idea to use the plant guide green tables pages for journals. Looking forward to seeing your floral designs in the future ❤

[debk]

Wow! Amazing books! That butterfly book is my fave! 😉 Thanks for sharing your fun finds!

[handmadefromlisa]

I always enjoy your hauls so much, but then I always want to go to the thrift store and buy whatever it is you had thrifted. LOL I loved the Butterfly book as well, but also the nursery rhyme book. I just love those cute images.

[debbienorris]

You truly found some treasures! Thank you for sharing! Liked the butterfly book the best!

[caroltanzi]

Nice collection of books that you discovered for different reasons. That Victorian Book is an inspiration book for sure. They were very clever and creative people. Carol from California
