Elegant mother, classic literature lover, and dedicated gardener. I'm Claire, an Antique Book Restorer & Conservator and the head at our family library, and mother to Julian and Elie, who both keep my shelves full of new stories and sturdy structures. I spend my days restoring precious bindings and managing our library's collections, while finding peace among the roses and joy in a house full of laughter, old bindings, and good books.
