introducing bibelot’s issue 3…

issue iii: revival

To celebrate the coming spring season, we want to hear your stories about restoration, revival, and new beginnings.

  • Revival can mean a lot of things, like improving or restoring, or creating new things from something old. Our previous issues ‘Flying South’ and ‘Sunburn’ were about the present and the past respectively; ‘Revival’ is about the future. Whether that means springtime growth, renaissance aesthetics, or anything in between, please submit whatever you think fits the theme!

  • We’re very lenient on what submissions need to qualify for the theme! Interpret the theme however you want — we’re so excited to see your individual stories however they take form.

  • Submissions close on April 3rd. Please feel free to contact us for any reason if you have questions about this deadline!
