It’s summer, which means blue skies, bright-colored clothing, and all the freshest fruit recipes. It also means that a good majority of the world in which we live are traveling to exciting places, and as a book lover, there are no better areas to visit than the settings of some of the most-read classics. Invaluable created a map of every travel-enthused bibliophile’s dream: the most-used global locations in literature based on title and author recognition. From the English countryside to the bustling streets of New York City, plan a trip to see some of the landmarks that inspire your favorite books and use the map as a guide and inspiration for your next travels. While I was reading through Invaluable’s The Best Literary Settings in Classic Literature article I was inspired to create another bookish inspired craft project using paper mache letters.

I was in need of a new set of coasters for my office after my mini pallet coasters started to fall apart. So searched the internet for something cool but after a half an hour of searching, I didn’t find anything worth buying.

They were easy to make and pair well with the decor of my office.
