I have written on several occasions about my stone book collection.
I was most flattered a few months ago when I was notified that the online design site, V and M, or Vintage and Modern, wanted to feature an article on my collection.
Co-Counder Bill Indursky, and I exchanged a few emails and then I waited for a writer to contact me. I had the pleasure of talking with free lance writer, Valerie Gladstone, who penned the article.
Valerie did a superb job of writing about a subject that I know little about!
The mystery and curiosity of stone books are one aspect I love about them, but try telling someone interviewing you that you "just luuuuvvvvv them ... and they are so pretty....and they are so cool"!!
(Really eloquent and articulate, don't cha know!?)
Ummm....didn't do too much for my perceived intelligence quotient!
Anyway, I am thrilled and hope you will be too!
Check out the article HERE, and if you have not done so already, subscribe to V and M as it is always full of inspiring information and GREAT antique and vintage items for sale.
GEe, how many do you have? I've never seen any of these, and I've been doing antiques for 10 years. I love the ones with the crosses on them. I love your collection. I'm going to read the article right now. take care,

These are so cool. Congrats on the article!
ReplyDeleteBefore reading that article if you would have said to me....."books carved out of stone", I am not sure how interested I would have been. But now that I know the history behind them, fascinating.

ReplyDeleteAnn, Congratulations! How exciting, and I'm in love with your collection. So beautiful. I've never seen anything quite like these, but will definitely be on the look out in future travels. Have a great weekend. Mona
ReplyDeleteI've seen the stone books as bookends, but never as individual pieces. It's a stunning collection, and I enjoyed the article.
