I'm glad you both like it. I thought they were neat, especially the second one, it looks so elegant.
Hugs, Paula

I bought a few several years ago at the thrift store for a quarter each, made from old Reader's Digest Condensed Novels (which are also populating every thrift store in town!). A good way to recycle water-damaged/dog-eared books!
