Cocoa Bliss!

Today I got the newest addition to the shop up, which I’m very much in love with:

The more of these hardcover books I make, the better they’re getting. This most recent batch (oh yes – more tomorrow!) has turned out really great and solidly made. Anyway, like I mentioned yesterday I made a couple of really simple hardcover books from the smaller pieces of paper created by making these medium sized books. A small batch that I put together ended up coming out pretty cute:

I’m just not entirely sure what to do with them. Sell them in the shop in a little bundle? Continue to make a ton of them and save them for a craft fair? Send them as thank you gifts with orders? Any suggestions? I’ve got so much extra paper for making them I’ll be tossing them into my bag to fold and stitch up on the bus ride to/from New York this weekend.

Oh yeah! I’m going to ravage NYC for about 24 hours from Friday afternoon to Saturday afternoon! So far I’ve decided to hit up the Central Park Zoo and the Whitney Museum before my return to Philly on Saturday since they’re pretty close to each other and I’ve never been to either.  Oh why is it only Tuesday? More goodies as the week goes on!
