About

Welcome! Gloria Monday is where I keep all my interesting bits of paper. I sell the bits of paper or make them into things. 

You can find vintage paper ephemera packs, including book pages, diagrams, illustrations, notes, tickets, photos, postcards, pamphlets and more.

You can also find personalised jewellery that I've created using vintage and antique maps and books. I create custom cufflinks using vintage maps, as well as custom map earrings and bracelets and pendants. I also create literary themed jewellery using book pages.

My other interest is home decor, and I create garlands and hanging ornaments using vintage books and illustrations. 

I never use precious, rare or valuable books in my craft, only pulp editions or damaged items.  

I started my business in 2009, selling largely on Etsy (I still do sell there). Back then I was known as Bookity, but over time I've evolved my small business and so a change of name seemed right. What better way to celebrate the beauty of this ephemeral world (and my dear mum) with a pun. 

I'm based in Reading, UK, and run my small business from my home studio, where all the magic happens. Packing, ordering settings, sweeping up all the bits... Seriously, it is a joy and I feel very lucky! I hope you enjoy my shop and find something interesting and/or wonderful here!
