Welcome to the Dream Bindery!

I bind small blank books by hand.

You can find DB books at my Etsy shop, and at Quimby's Bookstore in Chicago. ♡

I use a lot of repurposed & vintage materials to make my books, including:

vintage stationery​

handmade paper

player piano paper rolls

old comic books

used packing paper

vintage photographs

vintage shooting targets

dot matrix printer paper

paper bags

old school notebooks

vintage computer punch cards

vintage postcards

leftover library & office papers

vintage fabrics

repurposed clothing

...and more. I also use fine art papers for the pages sometimes.
