Books, and coffee. Coffee, and books.
I could probably never really communicate how much I love a good cup of coffee. Especially on a day like today, when the sky is stormy, and I can see the rain pelting windows all around my desk, all I can think about is how much—so so so much—I wish I could be in my own comfy chair, with a blanket, and an open window, and a cup of hot coffee.
Necklace: $35
Mug: $15
Show everyone how much you love to read when you wear this miniature book necklace over your heart.
I’ll be honest: It was the rose gold chain that really sold me on this Wednesday book craving. That and the classic print.
I want.
Price: Just $15, and only .50 shipping if you buy two!
OK, probably not so surprising that I want just about every Wednesday book craving that I have posted… but I really want this one.
I decided to search for bookends, and quickly fell in love with these. I think I prefer the chocolate brown, but the red and green are both good options for my living room—and maybe yours!
Price: Just $30 to keep your books in place.
This Wednesday book craving is actually a tip from a reader, who has a lovely Etsy shop of her own called Eva Rose 1900 Vintage Beads.
The pink typewriter you see above is actually a hand painted brooch made of wood. Not totally sure where all you could wear a wood brooch, but I would totally wear mine to book club with a cropped jacket of sorts.
The creator of this brooch also has some adorable notebooks featuring cameras, buildings, and of course, typewriters!
Typewriter brooch: $15
Notebooks: $6
I just cannot get enough of the typewriter art that is available out there. I had no idea there were so many other people who loved that sound of clacking keys!
In fact, I have found so many amazing pieces that I am officially inspired to one day have a vintage typewriter-themed office.
Speaking of clacking keys, the book craving for this week makes use of the keys left over from well-loved typewriters. I have included a monogrammed S because I want one for my own last name, and a fabulous use of the Shift Key.
Swoon.
Monogrammed necklace: $19.50
Shift key necklace: $24.50
Welcome to the late night edition of Wednesday book craving. It took me a little while to find this one, because I kept getting distracted by typewriter art.
But good news. I found something even more old school. This company takes illustrations—in this case, the fountain pen and inkwell—and prints them over a recycled dictionary page.
The result? Some vintage pop art that should probably be hanging in my office already.
Fountain pen and inkwell not your style? They have 499 prints in total, with everything from teacups to bicycles.
Price: Just $6.99 for the print, frame not included.
For this edition of our Wednesday book craving I picked something oh-so-appropriate for the week before Valentine’s Day. A heart-shaped wreath made from the pages of Romance novels.
Now, I have never been a fan of the Romance novel. But I am a fan of this wreath!
Price: Just $30 to say “I love you” in a completely original way
Time for Wednesday book craving!
Apparently this is a thing, but I missed it. Book covers converted into purses! How cool would this be to carry your books to and from the library? Or even to book club?
I love it! And it is certainly a green option for more well-loved books.
Price: $200, but there are many more affordable options on Etsy.com.
Bonus: I found a slightly cheaper Jane Eyre one, too.
Just in time for Valentine’s Day, here is a collection of typewriter-related gifts for your Wednesday book craving.
“Do Work” Gocco Printed Notebook
I got a lot of positive feedback after the book craving from last week, so this Wednesday called for a repeat!
The Invisible Floating Bookshelf from Barnes & Noble may seem like it defies logic, but it is actually pretty simple. Imagine a room full of floating books… sounds like perfection to me!
Price: $13.95 each, but I think you would have to buy more than one.
Just a twenty-something writer from Dayton, Ohio with a vintage pink typewriter and some stories to tell.
