(With all of the business on the blog during the Flood Auctions, I postponed a few Cool Shops! reviews – thanks Beth and everyone else still to come for waiting patiently.)
Welcome to my newest Cool Shop! Bamboo Grove…
Bamboo Grove is a trendy shop found on Etsy selling handmade books and concertina albums with Japanese paper – also known as washi. Beth, who resides in Melbourne, is the creative mind behind Bamboo Grove. Her little albums are just a treat, they are superbly made and a fantastic gift idea for that person who “has everything”.
Beth kindly sent me three of her little concertina albums to review. I love them and can see tons of potential for turning them into gifts for the grandparents by adding a selection of our favourite photos of the kiddies. How easy is that? A completely handmade gift, that isn’t going to cause you any stress! They look great displayed on a bookshelf or side table and are made with exquisite attention to detail – they don’t look handmade at all!
Take a look at what this photographer has done with some of her photographs and Bamboo Grove albums – I would love to be one of her clients!
This map album is really cool…
And I love this green one…
Beth also makes lovely big albums filled with handmade paper such as this one…
