I love old books & buy lots if the price is right LOL! If I don't use a book in my journals, it becomes a home decor piece - just a few books with pretty covers piled up with vases of flowers, candles, vintage trinkets & dishes stacked on top! I love the look, feel & even smell of old books. I have the Victorian flower book as well - it's so beautiful. I rescue old dictionaries from the recycle bin at the end of the school year when we are all clearing our out classrooms no matter the age or condition. Our school library periodically clears out books that have been damaged beyond repair or haven't been checked out for a very long time. Some of the gems I found were books about early American history. The pictures of the handsome gentlemen, beautiful ladies, and old homes will be used to decorate journals and the mostly text pages will be wonderful for sub-straits for master boards. I've also discovered I can use glossy pictures by covering them with Matte Gel Medium (a product somewhat like Mod Podge) so they look less "new" and blend in with vintage papers better. I've also found older children's book with lovely illustrations - rosy cheeked children with short pants (boys) and dainty dresses (girls) from times gone by. Thank you for sharing your list of qualities you look for in books. I think I unconsciously looked for books in a similar fashion, so having you discuss these points will help me be more purposeful when looking at books (or I may just continue to buy everything I take a fancy to)! Take care!

I live in the US and I've found 2 books that have lovely green print and beautiful gardening and plant illustrations...they are educational as well. I use them in almost every journal. No color just green print and pictures. Ive actually found the first one twice now which is called LASAGNA GARDENING by Patricia Lanza i can't even tell you how much use i get out of it whenever i found the 2nd one i was ecstatic! The next one is called THE MEDICINE WHEEL GARDEN by E. Barrie Kavasch. This book has the same green printing and illustrations and also has lots of great uses for plants and "recipes" as well. I make a ton of floral journals and these books have been perfect for them plus most of the other journals i make! Of course i have my favorite floral books and dictionaries...i have my favorite childrens books and so many others but these 2 are so unique but so so useful i think any journal maker would love to have them in their collection!

Fantastic video - thanks so much. I was at my local secondhand bookshop yesterday and picked up two very interesting texts for junk journalling. One is a vintage book written in German, but the text in the entire book is like an old medieval gothic text. It’s also beautifully aged and patina. I also picked up a 1950s guide to stamp collecting, which has some fabulous black and white photos of stamps throughout.

Hello dear friend, Joie, this is without a doubt a triple 👍. I’ve been buying your suggested books since I began following you. The Victorian Flower Album I actually was fortunate enough to have two. 1 estate sale $3.00, the other at my favorite “Thrift Books” I’d have to agree with you, a # 1 favorite. I have hundreds of fussy cut flowers from the first. Pages used for collaging envelopes and pockets and creating pockets and fun envelopes. I have many things in my “Joie reference journal.” I also love my herb book as well. Again I love it for collage and tags. The nature one was what I was able to find at Thrift books. 10.00 always free shipping. Well done with Williams wallpaper of Andreas. I was very lucky to get 2 of his books. Every time I look through them I hate to cut yet. Gorgeous wallpaper. Gotta run, finish watching re play. Thanks Joie. Always ✅subscribe ✅ like 👍 ✅

Hello, dear Joie! "A Victorian Flower Album" arrived today in the post. It greatly surpassed my imagination.....It was beautifully bound in a lovely hardcover, and immediately, especially upon reading the loving inscription he'd written to his chikdren, I realized I could never cut it up. My solution may be to buy a second volume, or have this book professionally laser copied by the neighborhood printer. Thank you so very much for introducing this magical, scrumptious book to the junk journal community. I love all your beautiful videos! Sending you my best wishes and warm regards, from Fleur 🌹

I have the book A Victorian Garden. It is soooo beautiful and such a not to look through; I haven't been able to cut into it yet. Of course I love any Edith Holden book. Another great artist w/bks. I Marjolein Bastin. Not victorian, but gorgeous nature illustrations. This was so fun to watch, thank you!

Awesome video! Thank you for that. I just have maps that were folded for when your on a trip tour map. My husband has a couple books of maps but he uses them for him and I to talk about where we want to go on a vacation! Sometimes we go. Sometimes not! Either way it was fun looking in the atlas together! 💜 thank you for sharing great video! So very helpful! God bless! Love hugs and prayers my friend! 😇💖🤗🙏

@@joiedefi I've just been filming a mini series actually using one of my favourite books the concise british flora in colour 🌿. The herb book you have I like that size to just back and sew round for large journal cards and I've also made notebooks using the whole page as the cover I really find those sized books very versatile

@Bezjc1936 3 жыл бұрын

I have many books on my shelves that would be great for junk journaling - well aged pages etc - but because they have been with me for so long and are part of my life - i just can't bear to use them. The oldest is a dictionary I've had since 1956 - many novels 40 years plus and my fathers gardening books - goodness know how old they are. Hoping to get to some charity shops soon now that we are allowed out a bit more.

I love your collection but I would also include Edith Holden... although I have been unable to use mine unless it is a very special project... Luckily I was able to find mine at my consignment stores... Can't wait to get to some yard sales... Only started to junk journal since Covid started so I have not have a lot of opportuniities to get to flea markets/ yard sales. Thank you for some wonderful ideas.
