Premade Custom Book Covers + New Etsy Shop

Hi Yall! I've been thinking of ways to keep the spirit of Thriftionary alive during this time of little to no thrifting. I often look back at old images of myself over the years and think how fun it would be to make more creative use of those pictures. As you know I make lots of things from Thriftionary product shots– like collages, gifs for Instagram, and clothing tags. I toyed with ideas before, but now I'm actually doing it...making ebook covers from them!

This is an vintage style black and white ebook cover featuring a Black American woman. She is shown from the nose down dressed in a 50s style knee length lingerie robe holding a potted calathea plant. She appears to be on a porch with lawn furniture and more potted plants behind her. The title reads "Violet's Garden: The full and extraordinary life of one family's matriarch by Lonsca O. Darman"

Its been a really interesting way to not only stretch those old images but also reimagine me in different stories and times. I've enjoyed it so much in fact I started a new Etsy shop– BoundBooksBoutiqueSG.

As of now, the book covers are a mix of fiction and nonfiction ebook covers, but I'd love to eventually make paperback book covers.

This premade custom eBook cover 'Still Holding On' is great cover art design for a romance novel, a memoir, or spiritual/inspirational story. The cover features a Black woman with her eyes shut, positioned partially in the frame with a crown of flowers placed upon her head of natural hair.

This custom made vintage style ebook cover design features the title "Dainty" in a lovely cursive script. The image features the top of an old mannequin from the wooden neckpost to just under the bust. The mannequin wears a peach nightgown with pearly peach buttons and light lace at the decolletage.

The images are primarily my own images from both Thriftionary shoots and my professional portrait and product photography work.

This book cover features a pastel pink, blue, black and white scene. The POV is partially under water partially above. A woman partially submerged is dressed in a thin nightgown with a dark blue bodysuit underneath. Above water the tops of reddish buildings looms over her. The title OVER UNDER is in all caps and black text.

I'll add more to my Pinterest board as I go.

Check them out and let me know what you think!

This image is a pink, almost christmas themed flat lay of an ereader, perhaps a kindle. White doily an chocolate puffed donut sprinkled with nuts and a cup of coffee sits on either side of the ereader. The device screen shows the image of a book "THE MAN WAR: A NOVEL" on the screen. The ebook features collaged piece that features volcanic smoke rising from the lips of and obscuring the face of a dark man. The man and smoke are against a bright orange backdrop with the words "The Man War: A Novel" in yellow and white font.

New Things on Etsy + Photos

I'm reconfiguring the look of both Thriftionary and my photography shops on Etsy. Every time I move I naturally start to incorporate my surroundings into my product photography.
Lately, I've been staging photos with all of my house plants.
The framed photos are my first try at making mockups from scratch (go me!).

Summer Styling Ideas

Summer weather is just around the corner for some of us and already sizzling some of our soles. The weather we are experiencing in London today is absolutely less than desirable, but not off season.

Despite the weather I'm dreaming up some summer styling ideas for Shop Thriftionary's latest vintage items.

This look features Thriftionary's 90s suede leather skirt with a side slit. This highwaisted leather skirt is perfect paired with a crop top or a bralette. Ooo or one of those cute wrap tops I want!

This is my favorite outfit inspiration set! It features the recently listed bleach dyed denim jacket with floral appliqué. I love this outfit because this is the type of summer outfit I'm looking forward to here in London. It's not quite warm enough to be out here in shorts and crop tops yet, so this is perfect for one of those breezy, cool sunny days ahead.

Get these 100% cotton sage green eyelet shorts while you can! I love the scalloped hem and paisley shaped eyelets on these. I'm wondering why I'm not keeping these actually because you won't see me in jeans around July if I can help it.

I love these highwaisted jeans with white rope accents featured in this set! They are pretty long making them perfect for cuffing or pairing with a cute espadrille wedge.

I hope summertime is on its way to you!

Wishing you some gorgeous sunny days.
