Personalised Notebooks + Journals
handmade Eco Conscious stationery made from recycled materials
Painting, typing and stitching a handmade personalised notebook
Hand made in lincolnshire
All of my notebooks are handmade in the U.K. in my solar powered countryside studio. Using traditional tools and methods that haven’t changed for centuries.
First I hand paint the design on to the cover
Then I type your personalised text on to the cover , using Dorothy, my vintage typewriter.
Next, I stitch your book together by hand using traditional linen thread.
Finally, I trim and then press your book overnight.
Personalised Notebook Gifts
My absolute fave personalised items to make are those where the words I’m asked to type are complete nonsense to me. Often they are bought as gifts so there is a really personal connection between the giver and receiver. An ‘in joke’ or phrase that only they will understand. I LOVE IT! more of those please :)

Best selling Personalised notebooks + Journals
Treading lightly on the earth frames everything that I do in my business. There is always more to be done but I work hard to find eco friendly solutions for the materials and processes that make my hand made stationery
Made from eco conscious materials
The covers of my notebooks are made from brilliant materials. Some are made from textile industry waste. Others from a truly innovative coffee cup paper that is cleverly manufactured here in the U.K. in a zero waste closed loop making process.
What are my notebooks made from
What happens to my waste?
he offcuts from making these notebooks is used to make other products in my shop such as notecards or wall hangings and the itty bitty trimmings are saved up and given to my friend and glass artist Scarlet of Scarlet Impressions, or a glass company in the next village to me who use them as packing materials.

My best selling colour block notebooks come in three 4 colours and 3 different sizes;
Pocket Notebook
Similar to A6 in size, these are perfect for keeping in your bag or well…………your pocket of course, to keep your notes handy or to write down those sparks of genius as they pop in to your head. I keep one by the bed and drive my lovely husband mad by keep switching on the light to jot yet another idea down!
Planner Sized Notebook
Similar to A5, in size. This is the most popular size. small enough to fit in a bag but large enough to spill your thoughts on to. They make perfect bullet journals, wellness journals or places to plan your week and to keep on top of your schedule and productivity.

Dot Grid Pages
For bullet journalers and the super organised. I love a dot grid page. so satisfying and easy to make a custom layout with the built in structure of a dot grid, but what I love most, is that the dots don’t fight with my notes and layout for attention. They quietly help my journal to look neat and organised.
How to personalise - top tips
Love the idea of personalised stationery or gifts but no idea what to put? here are some tips.
Meaningful
In Joke
Remind the lucky recipient of something you think they need to hear often. Remind them of the amazing things they have done or inspire them to keep going to reach their goals.

For a truly thoughtful and personal gift think about what the lucky recipient will use the item for. This can help you to come up with the perfect words.
