There is a snappy new book shop in town! Only it's not a place to purchase books. It's a place to repair them, create them and treasure them. Meet the fabulous book, box and paper maven Molly Lewis. One visit to her studio will have you wishing you could re-cover all of your old books with the most amazing handmade covers you have ever seen. Molly is the founder of Hinged Strung Stitched and specializes in making custom presentation boxes, photo albums and books. She can build you a beautiful journal from scratch, or create an intricate clamshell case to hold your treasures in.
Call her up to schedule a visit at her studio and you'll find yourself unable to pull yourself away. One could lounge for hours on one of her white tuffet stools, drinking tea and talking paper. She is a friendly girl with a wealth of knowledge who will gladly tell you anything you ever wanted to know about the art of book binding.
If you don't make it to her studio, though you really should, you can catch a glimpse of her at the Sunday Best Holiday Sale which will be in the Cleaners space at SW 10th and Stark. Sunday, November 30th, 2008 from 11-5.
Hinged Strung Stitched is in the Olympic Mills Commerce Center
107 SE Washington Street
