Mother Stork’s Baby Book

Acclaimed as the ultimate in keepsake baby books, Mother Stork’s Baby Book, 100th Anniversary Edition combines classic design and traditional craftsmanship to create a work of art. This reprint of the one-of-a-kind 1904 heirloom baby book features delightful original illustrations and poems by well-known authors of the time, providing a unique and elegant method of recording baby’s first years.

Mother Stork’s Baby Book, 100th Anniversary Edition captures those once-in-a-lifetime memories in a collectible format that continues to be in style over one hundred years since it was originally published. Everything needed to present a perfectly distinguished baby gift is included in one exquisite bundle.

At Kistner Supply we are determined to provide the best for our customers. We have not compromised our standards requiring the highest quality materials since the company was founded in 2004.

The updated 2016 version continues to be made with archival-quality paper. It is hardbound in the Smythe Sewn technique, the oldest and most durable bookbinding method available today, covered with a luscious archival-quality book cloth, and foil stamped on the cover and spine. A translucent vellum dust jacket has been added to protect the book for everyday use. Mother Stork’s Baby Book is then packaged in acid-free tissue for long-term storage, and placed into a custom gift box. Additionally, the package includes acid-free photo corners and an archival-quality gel pen.

Like all of Kistner Supply’s products, the gift box is adorned with a lovely, striped, grosgrain ribbon and includes a vintage-quality letter-pressed gift card.

Kistner Supply’s handmade cloth gift bags were inspired by Elizabeth Brantley’s memories of her grandmother and great-grandmother, Granny Kistner. The original Kistner Supply Co. in Zolfo Springs, Florida, owned and operated by Brantley’s great-grandparents, sold animal feed during the Depression. That feed came in printed cotton feed-sacks. Once the bags were emptied the fabric could be re-used by Granny Kistner and her three daughters to make clothes and housewares. Brantley remembers stories about how her grandmother and her sisters would wait with great anticipation to see what fabrics the next shipment of feed would bring and how excited it would make her. “I cherish the collection of clothes and housewares made from the feed-sacks that came from my great-grandparents’ store,” says Brantley.
