My recipe book

This is actually a project I put together a couple of years ago, but as I have run into some annoying fitting issues with my current project (this dress), as a most welcome distraction I decided to share this with you.

I had a brilliant recipe folder, it was hot pink, and had room for everything but it got lost in one of my moves somewhere (I actually suspect perhaps it was kept by an old flatmate...) and I could not find anything similar to it. Now of course there are heaps of recipe folders out there but at the time I could not find a sausage.

As I am something of a stationary geek, I still dream about a particular stationary store in Vancouver, I knew I had to use a moleskine notebook for my recipes. I then found this post which had the very helpful downloadable labels, but I wanted my recipe book to be something special. So I went on the hunt for old food related postcards to use at the start of each section. I found this brilliant website, http://www.ansichtskartenversand.com/ , and managed to find enough food related postcards to fill each section of my recipe book. Their service is really good, all the postcards I received were in perfect condition, and I was very happy. Here are some of my favourites.

This project was really pretty quick and easy to put together and I am still really happy with my little recipe book, which is slowly but surely filling up...
