Mrs Dalloway, Virginia Woolf, Book purse, Bookish, Literary gift, "Mrs. Dalloway said she would buy the flowers retailer herself"

In 'Mrs Dalloway', Virginia Woolf explores the events of one day, impression by impression, minute by minute, as Clarissa Dalloway's and Septimus Smith's worlds look set to collide. I love, love, love this book and this classic orange retailer Penguin paperback edition is ...classic!

This wallet is made from a brand new paperback and it has a simple cover in Penguin orange.

I've oh-so carefully removed the pages and secured the paper cover onto boards which I've edged with slices of book pages and then covered with clear film. Then I've added antiqued brass book corners for good measure. The book measures 110mm x 180mm x 13mm (4.45" x 7" x .4") It may be just too big for your pocket, but it's small enough for your bag.

It's lined with glorious sunflower fabric on black and has three pockets for your cards, one of which is decorated with a tiny bronze 'made with love' charm, and three pockets for your notes (notes not included!) In the crease of the spine there's a small, lined, zipped purse for your loose change. It all closes with a magnetic clasp in a tab that secures into the back of the book.

“Mrs. Dalloway said she would buy the flowers herself. For Lucy had her work cut out for her. The doors would be taken off their hinges; Rumpelmayer's men were coming. And then, thought Clarissa Dalloway, what a morning — fresh as if issued to children on a beach.”
― Virginia Woolf, Mrs. Dalloway
