Retro Recipe Wallet - Pineapple Jelly Dessert

A one-of-a-kind wallet handcrafted from the original pages of a 1960s Golden Circle Tropical Cook Book.

"You'll be a better cook if… you watch your spoon measurements." Words to live by! This slimline wallet features two showstopping desserts — pineapple rings set in bright green jelly and beautifully decorated with fern leaves, alongside a passionfruit, pineapple, and banana cake adorned with dried daisies. A true level-up for any dessert cart. Lined with a vintage-inspired floral patterned paper.

What makes it special:

• Original pages from a 1960s Golden Circle Tropical Cook Book
• Features pineapple jelly with fern leaves and a passionfruit, pineapple & banana cake
• Includes a classic 1960s cooking tip — pure retro charm
• Lined with vintage-inspired floral patterned paper
• Pages covered with clear PVC to protect the paper
• Folded and stitched by hand — a true limited edition collectable
• Closes with a magnetic clasp
• Approximately 16 cm wide × 8.5 cm high (just a little wider than an Australian note)

Perfect for carrying:

• Cash and cards
• Blister pack medications
• Recipe cuttings or loyalty cards
• Anything you'd like to keep protected in your bag

The perfect gift for: pineapple lovers, retro baking enthusiasts, Queensland nostalgia collectors, or anyone who appreciates something truly handmade and eco-conscious. Would even look great displayed on the kitchen bench!

With wear, the paper may crease a little — adding beautifully to its life story.

No two designs are the same!

I love to collect vintage and retro books, magazines and other special documents such as sheet music and street directories to create a unique collection of wallets.

When designing a wallet, I select and cut out the pages (one for the outside and one for the lining) and cover them with clear PVC to have a waterproof protection.

From there I carefully stitch together the pages and fold them over to create your wallet, adding a Lyssy May label in the process to ensure its handmade story is shared.
