We work a lot with this linen embossed paper. We use it for our guestbooks and notebooks. It’s crafted in Japan and we love it for its distinctive texture.

In a digital world, we’re drawn to papers that are tactile - something you want to pick up, hold, and keep.

A selection of this weeks guestbooks going to some rather lovely sounding destinations. ⁠

Looking forward to listing our new ring binders next week.

We had ring binders written down for 2026 when we wrote down a scrappy product development plan in 2023 - quite proud we stuck to it and they are now here!

Just a little appreciation post for our brooklands green cover paper. 💚

After being out of stock for a couple of weeks - we were reunited! And spent a morning making lots of green books. It is our most popular colour, especially for our hardcover guestbooks.

We’ve been working hard behind the scenes to bring our folders to life.

Comment ‘KEEPSAKE’ below if you would like to be the first to know when these are available and we will send you a 10% discount code.

Created from a desire to keep hold of precious scattered pieces of paper ❤️

Beautiful enough to be displayed and enjoyed, and high quality enough to be archival and kept.

An alternative to a greeting card for Mother’s Day.⁠..⁠

And yes, I may have encouraged my child to write why he loved me, in the aid of content, and I can confirm, it feels rather lovely! ❤️😂⁠
⁠
Just how amazing to capture those early years of learning to write in a little keepsake book. There won't be a “to keep or not keep" dilemma with this one...⁠

1. Workbench pride - 2 years spent perfecting our guestbooks. Love seeing them come together from screen, to print, to bind.
2. Lots of books made for a women’s lunch
3. Perks of the job - day trips to pick up machinery and a perfectly timed pit stop ☀️
4. Probably the most exciting purchase to date (for me!) Isn’t she beautiful. Probably the same age as me too!
5. Teeny tiny 10pt Gill Sans type.

We are doing a photoshoot next week of our new kids sketchbooks - and we hate waste! I would love for the books i make to have a home to go to. We also have some lovely new colours in so I am looking forward to making them in all the colours.

For the price of postage (£2.95) would you like one?! The first 6 people to message me, I will make the book for you! Just DM me with your child’s name and age and we will take it from there!

A snapshot at our hardcover books being made.

Podcast on and make away. It’s very peaceful and therapeutic making these.
