Welcome to Nebo Child Illustrates & Upcycles

Hi friend—welcome in!

If you love handmade things, nostalgic stories, and giving old objects a second chance, you’re going to feel right at home here.

Nebo Child Illustrates & Upcycles started with a soft spot for illustrated books, quirky toys, and the belief that nothing truly special should end up forgotten in a landfill. I take thrifted books, well-loved toys, and rescued materials and turn them into journals, keychains, and small creative treasures—each one made by hand, one at a time.

Alongside my upcycled pieces, I also create original illustrations and artwork inspired by childhood, storytelling, and everyday moments—so you’ll find both reimagined treasures and brand-new creations made straight from my sketchbook.

Think: childhood nostalgia meets sustainable creativity.

Every piece in this shop is completely one-of-a-kind. No factories. No mass production. Just me, a stack of old books, a box of toys, and a lot of imagination. Some pieces make you smile, some make you laugh, and some might bring back a memory you forgot you had.

Here you’ll find:

• Upcycled book journals with character

• Handmade toy keychains full of personality

• Original illustrations and small art pieces

This blog is where I’ll share behind-the-scenes peeks, new collection sneaks, creative experiments, and the little stories behind the things I make. If you enjoy creativity, sustainability, and a bit of whimsy, you’re definitely in the right place.

Thanks for being here, for supporting small business, and for giving these stories a brand-new chapter.

With heart and a little bit of magic,
Nicole
