I'm a new subbie this morning. First saw "Labels 2.0" early this morning. Love them. So different than all label videos I've seen. So I will be making them next. This video on books is FANTASTIC!!! When I first started making junk journals 2 years ago, I could NOT cut up a book!!! Cuz I love books. But I got over it cuz I'm retired and decided it's time to USE my books. I've gotten many great used thrift store books and I love using them for journal making. Its a great way to "share" old books. I told myself NO MORE BOOKS for a while. Then I saw a video about a journal maker's thrift store haul. I HAD to try to find them and I got several of them. Bought 10 more books last week. For making journals. I like to make journals with favorite subjects for people. Music, ballet, etc. Its great for personalizing journals. Right now I'm working on 4 journals and the people they are for, are French, Irish, & Polish. So I'm using books about those countries & their history. And in those languages. They will really appreciate the personal touch. I use several online used book websites. So I put what I want on my WISH LIST and when they get that book they send me a text. I've been able to get all the books I've wanted. And they also show you similar books I can also buy. So that is helpful too. I started doing this when Covid shut stores down. And its easier and faster than looking for specific books in thrift stores. My only REAL PROBLEM is my lack of self-discipline to stop buying books!!! LOL!!! Thx for this great video. Austin,TX USA

[@SevenplazaCreative]

Wow, that is a wonderful concept. I don’t think we have anything like this in the Netherlands . Thanks for sharing 👍🏻😘

[@barbararobinson-smith9607]

I know what you mean about having to have some of the books shared online. I also found that by going to the various thrift stores and used book stored I have amazed a large collection. I have been fortunate to find a few of authors and subjects I love and began reading more. But also there are so many that I found have beautiful images in. Keep crafting. Barbara Robinson-Smith

Love to see this videos so yes please share more off your big treasures. I also have a lot off the books you showed but only 1 Edith Holden one and I am not cutting that one up I think. A lot off the floral ones and the serie off readers digest I herited from an old aunt off my husband…so no cutting, think I will copie the things I will use. Last week I found such an Atrium book, didn’t know them yet but they are fabulous with those little cards. Flower fairy’s, Kate greenway and the little Mary Barker ones I bought myself new when I was a teenager, happy I have hoard them😂 Have a nice weekend! Groetjes Maia

[@SevenplazaCreative]

Hoi Maia, Ik vind toevallig dit weekend een titel die ik nog niet eerder heb gevonden met ook geweldige illustraties erin flora en fauna gelijkwaardig aan de readers digest boeken.

I am such a book lover. TFS

[@Ingescreativeworld]

Wat een geweldige collectie boeken. Ik heb de catalogus van Leonard de Vries op een rommelmarkt gekocht. Welke je nog mist van hem die ik ook geweldig vind, is het groot handwerkboek uit Grootmoeders tijd. Daarnaast gebruik ik ook de boeken van Ot en Sien en Rie cCramer, hele mooie illustraties en super Nederlands.

[@SevenplazaCreative]

Hoi Inge, Wat een mazzeltje dat je die gevonden hebt op een rommelmarkt. Ik heb nog veel meer boeken van Leonard de vries dan ik liet zien hoor 😜. Dus die zit zeker in mijn collectie. Ik heb verschillende versies Ot en Sien boeken en van Rie Cramer hoewel ik daar iets minder grote fan van ben . Maar ze zijn zeker heel populair in de Nederlandse Journal community

[@Ingescreativeworld]

@@SevenplazaCreative oh maar dan moet je zeker een tweede video maken, wil ik graag zien, heb net 6 van de reader’s digest serie op marktplaats gezien en hopelijk kunnen kopen en een aantal van Leonard de Vries boeken besteld. Super! Alleen ben ik wel van hee gebruiken hoor. Alles wat van na 1940 is gaat bij mij de schaar erin. Ik heb anders te weinig ruimte 😁. Heb trouwens ook nog een mooi boek van Pepin press over victoriaanse mode 1850-1895. Vind je video’s superleuk, dus vooral zo door gaan 👍🏻

[@lydiabeinsberger8807]

So many treasures !!! Thanks for sharing ! I do have a lot of these books too, from thriftshops in the Netherlands and Belgium, and of course fleamarkets. The books of Marjolein Bastin are realy beautiful too, comparable with Edith Holden in England. I find them constantly in thriftshops and love to use them.

[@SevenplazaCreative]

Hi Lydia, I also have a huge collection of Marjolein Bastin and Janneke Brinkman books. The only reason I didn’t show them is because I believe they will be very hard to come by outside of the Netherlands.

New subbie here. I loved seeing all your books and have many of the same ones. Here's a couple of recommendations for botanical books - A Field Guide in Colour to Wild Flowers by Dietmar Aichele, illustrated by (originally published in German) - Wild Flowers of the World by Barbara Everard and Brian D Morley. Both books were published in the UK by Octopus books. Octopus also published the Oxford Book of Wildflowers and others in the same series. I had never heard of Leonard de Vries and found his collection fascinating. You might look up Robert Opie, he has a really interesting series of books featuring adverts and brand packaging. Happy book hunting. Hope you can still find some room on your shelves.

[@marjandewith4171]

Prachtige boeken Margreth! En ook zeker een aantal bekenden die ik ook in mijn verzameling heb. Soms koop ik ook wel eens meerdere exemplaren van hetzelfde boek, bv. van Edith Holden en mijn favoriete vogel-, planten- en vlinderboeken, maar ik ben er wel mee gestopt om alles maar te willen 'bewaren voor later'. Ik laat het dan uiteindelijk achter voor mijn zoon en die zit absoluut niet te wachten op honderden oude boeken 😆, zeker niet de meer gangbare. Ik vind het gebruiken van de meeste boeken (en andere papieren) echt een stuk leuker dan het bewaren van alles. Bovendien heb ik ook niet zoveel ruimte en eigenlijk vind ik dat helemaal prima.

[@SevenplazaCreative]

Hoi Marjan, het heeft een tijdje geduurd voor ik in echte mooie boeken durfde te knippen , maar als je die stap eenmaal hebt gezet dan gaat het iets makkelijker 😊 Ik ben heel benieuwd of jij naar een bepaald boek zoekt en nog niet hebt gevonden .Wat is jouw holy grail boek?

[@marjandewith4171]

@@SevenplazaCreative Knippen in boeken is ook best lastig af en toe! Maar ik zie de illustraties liever terug in journals voor mezelf of voor anderen dan dat ik ze in een kast zet waar ik ze niet snel uit zal pakken. Verder kijk ik vooral naar de illustraties en met name de illustratoren van bepaalde boeken. Edith Holden natuurlijk, Marjolein Bastin heeft een stijl waar ik erg van hou, maar ook vlinderboeken van Warnecke, E. Mansell (Thieme) en vogelboeken van John Gould en de natuurdagboeken van bijv. Beningfield, echt schitterend. Maar ook de Verkadeboeken en REBO boeken vind ik geweldig hoor. Ik ben iets minder van de vintage mensen en zo, hoewel ik het wel af en toe gebruik, maak ik het allerliefste natuurjournals. Ik zoek niet echt meer iets speciaals, maar vlinders en bloemen in boeken kijk ik altijd naar in de kringloopwinkels etc.

[@tammymchenry3675]

How long have you been collecting and junk journaling? I’ve only been doing it for a year and have amassed so many. It’s addictive. I was a teacher for 16 years so I love books. Have several Edith books from eBay $12 each. Just found one for $1.00 in my small town defunct library books. They have about 200 books left and are in our town hall. I bought 20 books. I was ecstatic.

[@SevenplazaCreative]

Hi Tammy, it is very addictive indeed . I have been journaling and collecting for 4 years now. An Edith Holden for $1 is an absolute steel. But I can top that 😜 found one for €0,50 in a thriftshop couple of years ago.

I was able to get petit Larousse for free since it was carried by a 2nd hand store I buy from a lot. Also the Sears and Roebuck. But now I wonder what am I supposed to do with Petit Larousse book other than paperweight. You didn't really specify. Though I do love all the small pictures and can see using them on ephemera.

[@SevenplazaCreative]

Hi Barbara, I use them to make faux postage stamps with . I should do a video on that 🤔

I use dictionary pages a LOT in my journals. Especially in collage. Super nice in foreign languages! I've gotten books in seven foreign languages. I love to use them in collages. And in ephemera too.

[@barbararobinson-smith9607]

Thank you. I would love to see a video on using different books in what way. I have label stamps that I think would be cute using the book. Just going to go for it. I do have quite a few dictionaries in different languages and in different sizes. Most are big enough to use as pages in a signature. Thank you again.
