I’m a big fan of books that have hidden compartments (like these and these), so I was excited to find the above set of book bookends online yesterday at Amazon. The bookends not only look like books, but also have drawers to hide stuff. Love it. I also hear from my mom that Barnes & Noble is carrying bookends that look like books. I went online to find them but apparently they are only carried in some of the brick-and-mortar locations.
Don’t you just love these book boxes? Disguised as a stack of vintage French books, each colored stack of two or three books is actually a small box with canvas hinges, perfect for jewelry, trinkets, or anything you want to hide. Reminds me of Claudia’s trick box for hiding candy in the Babysitter’s Club books. You can order them online at Wisteria. Another book box I like is here.
Check out this awesome repurposed dictionary! It’s been turned into a handy little storage box. I love it when sidelined books get a second life. I wish I had this as kid. Actually, I wish I had this now. It would be perfect for squirreling away candy ala Claudia from the Babysitters Club. Oh come on, you know you wanted her candy-hiding book.
Buy this at The Curiosity Shoppe, online or in San Francisco.
