I've been a little bit quiet lately, it's because I've been learning how to do this! Many thanks to Hand & Lock for running the course I attended at their studio at the start of July and to the delightful Amy Tang who was welcoming, enthusiastic and a fabulous tutor. Really pleased with this first go. Off to go practice more and start the next piece :-)

Today I'm highlighting some of my handmade notebooks - if you've read my blog from a couple of weeks ago you'll know that I started making these during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and were the catalyst for me starting my store. There are several different designs, some one-offs and others with multiple versions available. Do you like a notebook? Maybe today is the day to treat yourself!

The handmade A6 notebook features a fabric cover from Lewis and Irene printed cotton. Multiple variations are available, with the majority of materials being recycled and/or recyclable.

These hand-crafted greeting cards come in a set of three. Each card features delicate flowers painted with water-soluble ink and accented with black silhouettes, creating a stunning focal point. The inside of the card is left blank for you to add your own personal message.
