The “mini treasury” on the front cover contains items that were for sale at real shops at the time this book was being made. While they may not have the particular item any more, be sure to visit these shops who so graciously allowed me to use their pictures: Handbag from SisoiBags - https://www.etsy.com/shop/Sisoibags Cat Art Print from Rachel’s Studio - https://www.etsy.com/shop/rachelsstudio Earrings from Crystal Avenues - https://www.etsy.com/shop/CrystalAvenues Paper Ornament from Smile Mercantile - https://www.etsy.com/shop/smilemercantile
