My many-talented sister, who has been doing bookbinding as a hobby for a while now and lately posting pictures of her creations on her blog (see here, here, and here), has launched an online store where one can now browse and purchase her meticulously crafted creations.

I got a glimpse of the impressive inventory of work she's managed to start building up during our Thanksgiving visit this year. Stephanie really delights in the art and craft of it, and that certainly shows through in the lovely designs and perfect corners of the end results. We're lucky to have a few “Beetlelady originals” in our collection at home, and with Stephanie's new e-commerce site now open for business, I hope her creations will start making their way around the globe to delight others!

So help put an entomology Ph.D. student through grad school (...or help distract her from studying for her qualifying exams, depending on how you want to look at it!). Pay a visit to www.books.beetlelady.com! :-)
