.February Cool Shops! BAMBOO GROVE.

(With all of the business on the blog during the Flood Auctions, I postponed a few Cool Shops! reviews - thanks Beth and everyone else still to come for waiting patiently.)
Welcome to my newest Cool Shop! Bamboo Grove...
Bamboo Grove is a trendy shop found on Etsy selling handmade books and concertina albums with Japanese paper - also known as washi.  Beth, who resides in Melbourne, is the creative mind behind Bamboo Grove.  Her little albums are just a treat, they are superbly made and a fantastic gift idea for that person who "has everything".
Beth kindly sent me three of her little concertina albums to review.  I love them and can see tons of potential for turning them into gifts for the grandparents by adding a selection of our favourite photos of the kiddies.  How easy is that?  A completely handmade gift, that isn't going to cause you any stress!  They look great displayed on a bookshelf or side table and are made with exquisite attention to detail - they don't look handmade at all!
 
Take a look at what this photographer has done with some of her photographs and Bamboo Grove albums - I would love to be one of her clients!

This map album is really cool...

And I love this green one...
Beth also makes lovely big albums filled with handmade paper such as this one...
To coincide with her Cool Shops! review, Beth is offering a great discount of 20% off ALL purchases in her Bamboo Grove Etsy shop for the next month!
(To receive 20% off your order, enter the code "20off" when you order.  Offer is valid between Wednesday 2nd Feb - Tues 1st March.)

Oooh, these albums are such a huge hit with my clients! It is such a cute way to show off a selection of photos from a session.

I love the red album with white spots that you got - one of my favourites :)
