Another guestbook! I've never done one before just recently, but there were two on the line for this fall, haha. This one just went in the mail this morning, so I can now receive the blessed dopamine rush of posting!

This is a case where the couple wanted to create their own interior for the book. The title on it comes straight from them, and the volume begins with a fairy tale retelling of their relationship, which I think is just the SWEETEST idea. The guests will be able to sign after that, and then the rest of the space is for the couple to leave each other notes in the future.

I finally did made endpapers to beef this book up to make sure the endpapers were nice and sturdy, and it worked beautifully! I don't know why I struggled and gave up every other time I tried them, haha. This is another k118 for opening flat reasons, and ahh, even paper vellum feels delicious to handle, but vellum vellum is REALLY next tier. The endcaps are leather, matching the spine, and I'm stoked about how well I was able to shape the endcaps around them! Oh, and the cover is blue-black color shift duo bookcloth. I'm really pleased with how this whole project turned out!
