i had some sample scraps of a few of these beautiful (really expensive) fabrics from manuel canovas! what’s a girl to do? I had been looking at these fabrics, in all the color waves, for a long time. i want to use one of them so bad on something. i just do not really have a need for a (or can i justify) a new upholstered purchase. 

solution: 

really ugly sketch book + cover it with pretty fabric= pretty sketch book

this afternoon i will have a “picture post” of the finished product!! for now…here is a little prettiness.
