Little Women Christmas Card |
I have had a busy crafting day today putting the finishing touches to some new Greetings Cards that I have now listed in
my Etsy Shop. They all have a literary feel to them because I have upcycled pages from two disintegrating vintage books that I found in charity shops. One is the horror short story The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman (
my book review here!) and the other is the much loved children's novel Little Women by Louisa M Alcott.
I've enjoyed finding pertinent paragraphs to form the centrepiece of each card and then crocheting stars, baubles and flowers to embellish them. I recycled a seasonally red ribbon on a couple of the Christmas cards as well!

There were already four gothic cards listed that I had made featuring text from an old edition of Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte. I thought these would be perfect as Halloween cards or on any occasion for darkly romantic friends! Now I have added another seven and have three more Little Women cards which I hope to finish and list this evening. Keep an eye open for my Little Women book review post over on
Literary Flits soon. I think I will offer a pair of greeting cards as a giveaway!

This is the first time I have stumbled upon your cards and I am in love. I love how you are recycling and upcycling other items. I also love how you are carefully choosing which phrases and paragraphs will go on each card. You have a great attention to detail and great products as a result. Thank you for sharing this.
