about my book
(yes, 'tis feels quite odd to say "my book")
* i like the rounded corners.
* i like the feel of the front cover.
* i like the hand stitched postcard and little loved barcode.
* i like that my grandmother's pesky pom pom squirrel is tucked into my apron pocket on the front cover.
* i like that it sits perfectly perfect in my hands.
* i like the chunky spine a whole lot.
* i like that it is part of the Suitcase Series.
* i like the fact 'little lucky bunny' has a whole story all about him illustrated by my brilliant brother
* i like that such an inspiring book, can come from the collaboration of just two folks, one crafty blogger and one independent creative design publisher, yes i think that is quite a thing to like.
* i like very muchly, that Janine and i were fortunate to have so many willing helpers with the handmade details the book required. including Janine's own Mom and her trusty sewing machine
* i like that when i flick through the pages it is everything i hoped it would be and so much more.
* i like that when i think about having dottie angel published in a book, really truly think about this moment, it causes me to well up inside. i never thought anything else in my life would match the moments of my children being born, but this moment sits alongside there nicely.
* i like very muchly to think this book would not be what it is without you, my dearest readers for which i am thanking you kindly today.
and most of all
*i hope you will like it too
she will be back on monday with a little giveaway, till then, be safe my brilliantly brilliant 'i spy' dearies ~ Tif

I am so excited for you. This must be a great feeling to publish a book like this and be so proud and happy about it.
I have preordered a copy and can't wait for its arrival in my letterbox. Hurry postie lady!
Love reading about the book. It is a pleasant distraction while I wait out this pesky hurricane. Unlike DH, I cannot sleep through such a big storm. Am happy to hear your sweet child is ok. And happy to drift off, even for a few minutes, to a kinder, gentler world. Thanks.
Oh, your new book looks absolutely amazing and so beautiful! I love inspiring pictures and your book seems to be full of them!
What a lovely, inspiring little-bitty book! How beautiful it looks, how lovely and nostalgic the pages appear to feel, how so incredibly artsy and crafty! I'm loving all of the patterns and flora and fauna designs. This is making me dream of dreams! Congratulations!
Just ordered the fine book of yours, and hope it will make a safe trip to Norway. I'm sooo looking forward to find it in my mailbox! :)

I cannot wait to hold it! Your book looks so splendid!!! Congratulations!
just love it already...
lovely inspiration,
i will order one to my mailbox very soon!
like it ... I am in love - now to get my hands on a copy - now!!!
To say I was becoming impatient waiting for my little book to arrive would be a slight understatement! Perhaps I should have ordered two ...
I can see why you have a great case of the likes! It's very sweet looking and inspiration is always quite magic!
Those are all beautiful 'likes' and i would have to say i would even be 'smitten' with each feature - you are the pioneer of such a dainty, delicate, vintage look that so many get inspired by and follow after! I am super excited for your sweetness to be captured into a yummy book for all us fabric-holics. CONGRATS! :o)

Where can I buy this lovely book???
I live in Sweden. Can i buy it directly from you? I think it looks absolutely adorable! But I´m not suprised since everything around you is that way! :))
Pure Loveliness....Some books you just have, others you treasure and I do believe you have a 'treasure' of a book. Well done Tiff X
How Exciting! I am waiting with anticipation for the mailperson to visit my mailbox, so I too can hold your fabulous book in my hands. Congratulations!
Dear Tiff,
your book looks lovely! Stunnig I might say. Sad point is that I've been trying to buy it, but there is something wrong with the system of Uppercase. I hope I will get my order done.
Things I like ... my sister being a published author!!!! Can't wait to read it!
Can't wait to see and feel this little gem! I'm so excited for you! I pre-ordered so I'm stalking the mail carrier daily in anticipation! Hurry! Hurry! Jamie V in MT

Your book looks positively awesome! I hope that I can get it here in South Africa, if not, does uppercase do international postage? I sure hope so! Congrats on this wonderful achievement!!
That looks great :) Congratulations!
Congratulations, looks like a sensational read. Love your handstitching, something i've just started to do. Well done, very exciting.
How beautiful! I love tarted-up books. I hope number 2 was okay in the hurricane. xx
i am completely and utterly overwhelmed by your response to my book post... as i sit here today reading each and every comment i tell myself just how fortunate i truly am to have such kindness from others come my way.
thank you from the very bottom of my crafty heart!
as for getting hold of a copy.
you can find it here on UPPERCASE site http://shop.uppercasegallery.ca/collections/books
and also a list of UPPERCASE stockists can be found here
http://uppercase.squarespace.com/distribution/
and in a few weeks or sooner i hope to have some available in my etsy shop.
i appreciate it is somewhat tricky as the book is not available in mainstream book stores. however as you can see, going with an independent publisher was an important part of making this book what it is. for Janine was able to bring the handcrafted elements for this book come alive.
both Janine and myself cannot thank you enough for the support you have given us with the pre-orders, orders and your words of congratulations and support.
for that very reason we are both thanking you kindly :)
this does seem to be the book of all books. I as much want to hold it as read it. In complete awe that something like this can be made.
I cannot wait to get your book .. it is the perfect book to have while you are sitting in a big comfy chair with a cup of coffee . It truly looks beautiful and I will be a happy girl once I have a copy in my hands ! Congrats on this exciting adventure !
It looks oh!So! Splendid, perhaps my hubby and kids can give it to me for Christmas!!! xxx
Hi Tif,
Just a quick note to say how much we enjoyed being a part of your book project, everyone at our shop took great care in the work they did, from production planning, prepress, our press crews and all of the people in our bindery that worked so diligently applying the card, label and packaging together with the incredible envelope of goodies. It was a fun project and we wish you continued success with Dottie Angel!
Kindest regards,
Chris Young
Wonderful news Tif - at long last! Sending many congratulations to you, my friend.
Can't wait to get a copy.
Hugs
Jane

and Chris! oh my goodness indeed you and your crew did the most incredible job, i am so delighted to hear you enjoyed working on my book... for sure it would not be what it is without your hard work, thank you kindly and please please pass on my thanks to a 'crew of the utmost kind' :)
My copy is slowly making its way to Australia. Hurry up Mr Postman! Can't wait to see it. Uppercase are a fine and talented bunch.
Congratulations on the birth of you book! x
My copy arrived this morning, it's the most beautiful book I ever had in my whole life - thank you Tif xx
Hello Tif. Having pre-ordered your book so long ago thru Uppercase, it was such a nice surprise to find it in the mail yesterday! My eyes have been glued to it every spare moment I get. And I just wanted to tell you how much I love the book. You are such an inspiration and I am kicking myself for not reading your blog sooner.
My copy arrived from Uppercase! Just in time, as I was confined to my bed with a very rare cold...I curled up there under a quilt crocheted by my Grandmother Mary, and read it from front to back and back again. I love the book, and got so many great ideas...I'm know to you bolg, so it's delightful to find that there is MORE. I hope you have a wonderful time in Minneapolis..!
where can i buy this book? i must have it <3
