I’ve been busy filling some more custom orders that have come in – including some going to stores all over. I’ve also got a few new leathers that I’m excited to try.
Here are two more new journals to add to my etsy shop:

Well…not entirely a “mini” book, but mini compared to what I’m used to making, and definitely mini compared to the wedding album I made (shown in last post).
Last night I was going through some of my leather pieces and noticed that some were large enough to make mini journals. So I made one out of [...]

Things have been hoppin’ here at La Paperie & Cozy bindery. I’m mailing out about six custom journals tomorrow to customers across the globe. It’s hard to keep my own little shop filled with journals as they are quickly being diminished.
I recently finished a book for a customer in the US who wanted a [...]

I’m happy to announce that, as a participant of my first B.E.S.T. Book Swap, I was the fortunate recipient of KupoKiley’s lovely little book made of vibrant green clover paper. It’s vegan friendly (no glue, wax, or any other animal product) and the binding is a unique running chain stitch, embellished with pretty beads. I [...]

1. The effervescent smell of spit in the air after someone sneezes makes me want to hurl.
2. I refuse to walk barefoot on floors, no matter how clean they are, as I hate the idea of getting anything [...]

The lines are here! I’ve made a journal with 400 lovely lined pages. It’s got a Jane Austen quote from Pride & Prejudice on the front page, and the rest of its pages are bright white with bearly-there faint blue lines to aid in your writing. It’s always much easier to write with lines! I’m [...]

Understandably I’ve gotten many request for lined pages in my journals, and so I’m working on a way of making this come about. More on this later!
Still busy filling new custom orders. Just got another one yesterday – a dozen books, wholesale for another store. Wow! It’s going well.

Well that’s what it is, isn’t it? Time is marching on. I’m encapsuled in an electric blanket with three purring cats this morning, coddling a sore throat. They’re calling for 10-15 centimeters of snow, and it’s already started. I love the snow, but I don’t like the rain they’re calling for after the [...]
