THOMASINA
Secret Vintage Booksafe
By Paul Gallico 1957
Re-imagined by Foolhouse!
The secret pocket that has been carved out of this bold red vintage book has a secret pocket in it that is carefully carved in the shape of Thomasina the Cat with the illustration taken from the original jacket of the book.
It also includes a postcard found inside the book – a rather droll account of someone’s trip to a casino! I always like to keep the book’s history intact so one’s imagination can run free as to the mystery of its’ previous life.
Hide it amongst other books as the perfect decoy or put it on display.
Foolhouse’s character-filled vintage books are rescued and sourced for their alluring titles and covers, then transformed into unique Secret Book Safes!
Each one is a limited edition. A one-off! All are given a Foolhouse bookplate so that you can write a message to yourself or dedicate the instant heirloom to a lucky gift recipient!
All books come complete with their original inscriptions or bookplate awards and are personality filled with individual weathering and foxing – all the better to fool those burglars with and easily passed over on the book shelf or proudly put on display as an Open Book Artwork! A lovely vintage bulldog clip can be used to hold it open.
Each Character Foolhouse booksafe is lovingly carved and enhanced by vintage ribbon bookmarks. Plus, inside every book, a vintage illustration is specifically chosen to line the secret pocket.
These Foolhouse Secret Vintage Booksafes are a unique bespoke gift for any age.
These instant heirlooms have even been used for hiding engagement rings in as a proposal! we’ll leave it up to the one with the clandestine countenance to decide how it is used!
