Paper stockbook

One of my hobbies is collecting papers such as ephemera, tickets, foreign newspapers or something like that.
I used to stock them in boxes and drawers, but they have been increasing...
So I made a paper stockbook by myself to organize some of them.

You can make it easily by holing papers and sewing holes with a needle and hemp thread.
In addition, I sewed an iron button and a length of thin ribbon on the front cover so that I can tie up the book.

Tickets are in small glassine bags

French buvard and old match labels

Sometimes my friends give me some fancy papers

I love airplane logos!

This is the back cover

Making books is easy and fun!
I would like to make some another books soon.

  1. Dear Meco, it looks like a very interesting hobby of yours to collect tickets and newspaper. I am staying in Singapore. If you are willing to pay for the air freight charges, I send you a local Singapore Straits Times Newspaper.

    I do not have such an interesting personal blog like yours. Mine is more for work and information. You can visit my blog at http://bealovecat.blogspot.com

  2. Dear Mel,

    Thank you very much for your comment.
    I have started this blog just a couple of days ago and yours is the first comment that I received.

    Thank you for your suggestion about newspaper.
    Actually, my husband has a lot of overseas business trips including Singapore and he sometimes has chances to get newspaper of Singapore.
    Thank you for your kindness.

    By the way, your blog looks very interesting.
    I am still learning English and it takes me a long time to read English articles, but I will read your blog bit by bit.
    Thank you!!
