Currently what my granddaughters call my special "Big Books" are in a corner of the dining room. I always use books as risers and these oversized ones are the best.

MY BIG BOOKS

 |
| COPPER DEMIJOHN DRAPED IN VINTAGE ROSARIES |
These books are new with matching spines and art---just different sizes.
 |
| MATCHING SPINES AND COVERS |
I added the copper ribbon many Christmases ago. It was too perfect to not use all year round.
It never left the demijohn.

| DANGLING COPPER RIBBON |
The rosary collection began at a white elephant sale at my home town church.

| BOOK COVERS |

| LOVE THE ITALIAN SCRIPT |
The top book was created by adding a new spine and cover to a discontinued art book. The artist buys close outs from publishers and repurposes them.

| PEEK INSIDE THE BOOK |
I've saved the BEST for last. The bottom book is blank pages. I've filled the pages with my granddaughters' artwork. This is some of the artwork they made for my birthday. The book is filled with all their creations. Every visit always includes some art additions to "Grandma's Big Book"
Do you decorate with "Big Books"?
