Last weekend I spent an entire day with my sister shopping at thrift stores. I've had my eye out for some vintage Reader's Digest books for a while, and I hit the jackpot!
All of these plus a few more books were purchased for less than $7.
You may even have this hot decor item hiding in a closet or your garage.
Everything old is new again!
The covers of the older books are beautifully designed.
Wouldn't these be great inspiration for a line of fabrics?

I have a whole bookcase full of these books and besides being great reads, the spines are so colorful and bright that they make me happy!
