From the time our daughter was tiny she had a love for books. As a baby I’d sit her down with little board books and she’s spend lots of time paging through them (upside down!). Now she’s an adult and we swap books back and forth all the time and talk books, covers, plots and favourite authors regularly. When she saw some of the cute things I was creating with Concord & 9th’s adorable Pop-Up Shoppes she asked if I’d create a bookstore for her she could frame on her display wall. It was such a fun assignment!
I created this precious spot with Concord & 9th’s new Window Shope Pop-Up Base Dies and the Book Shoppe Bundle, along with the bricks from Flower Shoppe Stamp Set to create this dreamy little book shop scene.
I coordinated the colours to what she has in her room and had a blast making all the little details for this design! The bookstore window is lined with clear acetate, and the door is lined with vellum so those windows have the feel of real glass.
Little touches of gold cardstock accent the book spines (how cute!), the lamp stand, door hardware and plant pots inside and out front. It adds just the right touch of shine.
I added some fun details to the snake plants with copic markers so they look more realistic, and that adorable bike is ready to take home a stack of books in the basket. It has the tiniest details that are perfection!
I’m headed to the bookstore today to pick up a newly released book from one of my favourite authors! Sigh bookstores! They make my heart happy.

This is fabulous! You have given me an idea for a different type of store I would like to own. I love the colors you used too!
