Digging Through the Rubble…
This afternoon I stopped by my favorite bookstore to say hello. I wasn’t really thinking about picking up the discards available there today, just dropping by because I haven’t in a while. The owner asked if I had time and pulled me outside to dig through the recycling. So, I am out there, hair in my face, sweating, sorting through what is basically garbage to most, but total treasure to me, and I look up and see her sister, coming out to the dumpster after she has been going through used toys, and tell her, you know, this is a hell of a way to do business, huh? She laughed and we agreed we really wouldn’t have it any other way.
Previously wet, some a little moldy and warped books are now in my possession. SCORE! Look for great new notebooks coming your way. Oh, and I haven’t made little notepads in a while from paperbacks but there were about 50 books out there that I couldn’t resist - look for those notepads to come back soon.
If you are not familiar, these notepads are yet another byproduct of the notebooks made from the hardback discards I find. When I make a notebook there is a large chunk of paper that is basically wasted when cutting the paper to fit the covers. I save those cuts and when I have time I use discarded paperbacks to create notepads. Seriously, I do all I can to use the entire book and all scraps created in the process. That is why you will always find ANOTHER Sassy! Product available from AS!P.
