Vintage Junk Journal: "Tessa's Tea with Roses"

This journal has SOLD! My Shop is: PorchSwingDesigns. Link: www.etsy.com/listing/59039389...
The journal is 8 3/4" x 5 5/8" and the spine is 1 1/2" wide.
It has 82+ pages counting fronts and backs of all pages, as you would any book. It has 2 signatures and they were sewn into the spine using a 5-hole pamphlet stitch.
Many pages are tea-dyed, except for the digital pages, parchment pages, ledger pages, and some white lined pages.
The journal is made from a heavy-duty file folder which was covered with a strip of Tyvek down the spine and wrapped onto each side of the covers to strengthen the spine and covers. It was then covered with 110# cardstock inside and outside and lace, as you can clearly see.
I used a lot of lace, fibers, and ribbon both inside and outside the journal. You'll find lots of pockets, tucks, journaling cards, envelopes, tags, etc. Pearl-like charms are tied to the seam binding tie closures. Wink of Stella was used on many pages, to add glitz! ;)
This journal was made with a digital kit from CalicoCollage on Etsy. It's called "Tea Soiree."

    Thank you. Beautiful journal. It brings memories from 80 years ago. My Aunt Vera "hosted Tea Parties" for me, one cousin, and occasionally neighbor girls. I enjoyed your video. Thank you.

    This journal just might be my favorite that you've done. Love the soft, romantic look and I love things related to having tea. I've collected small sugar and creamers and tea pots over the years and I'm always looking for more. You are so talented and I think your confidence has grown with your KZread videos.
