Sometimes a book is a paperback you buy at the grocery store, devour at
the beach and donate when you are done. And, sometimes it is a souvenir
to prop up on your shelf and flip through when you want to revisit an
old friend.
Dottie Angel is the latter. The second volume of The Suitcase Series
from Uppercase is Tif Fussells pictorial ode to her crafty alter-ego
Dottie Angel, a mother of eight who favours pompoms, custom aprons,
crocheting and all things DIY.
Each book is personalized with a scallop-edged card machine stitched and
glued to the cover. And it comes with an envelope filled with a swatch
of vintage fabric and buttons, Dottie Angel thread and a lucky bunny
postcard.
See, one can be both bookish and beautiful. Jaelyn Molyneux
