About

UpcycleBookcycle stemmed from a collection of too many books gathering dust. In too bad of shape to be donated or sold, I started trying to turn them into bookmarks and even a paper garland for my Christmas tree.

Eventually I started  making ornaments for the favorite readers in my life.  Then I moved on to using old maps from my travels and rescued cookbooks. I love trying to come up with new ways to upcycle these items into homey decor.

Now, that my collection of old books and maps has run out, I haunt the local library books sales for items in need of new life.

My shop is a representation of the things I love- reading, cooking and baking, hiking and camping.
