unexpected gifts

Amidst all the post I received Tuesday came this little beauty of a gift, which made its way all the way across the pond from my Mom, and as it turns out is made by someone local in Philadelphia!

I love the wrapping it came in. It was wrapped in a page of Sherlock Holmes' A Study in Scarlet. The miniature book itself is made from "antique leather from an olde chair, Holland 1800s. Patched in spine with newspaper from my attic (insulation) also from the 1800s!"

How cool is that? It also sits at exactly the right length and is light enough to wear while hard at work :)
