I love anything and everything old and vintage looking. If I happen to find something that could possibly be reused, re-purposed or displayed just to add some character to my home, I'm thrilled!
We often see things and think they couldn't possibly have any use other than to line our rubbish bins, but why not try to be creative by giving old objects a second chance. I've given some old books new purpose in my home...
My lovely friend Meg recently gave me some old books beautifully put together with tissue paper and lace (see below). I added the crochet flower, which she made and had strung on my birthday gift bag (she is a lady with many talents!).

Another pretty way to display old books is to stack a variety of colours together and place a vase on top of them. In the picture below, I've stacked my old books on a high wooden stand that sits in the corner of my lounge behind one of my chairs. Why not try experimenting with your old books next time you have a tea or dinner party- pile some books together and place a fresh bunch of flowers in a pretty vase on top of them. Like the idea but don't own old books? Try looking at second hand shops or charity shops, they usually go for a few rands or cents. Happy experimenting!
