Day 296/365
Introducing the newest addition to the Sprouts Press Etsy shop: Lined Journals!! While I’ve sold these at shows, they’re hard to keep in stock. I’m so pleased to now offer them online and worldwide!
Beautiful lined pages on both the front and back. When combined with the coptic binding, which opens completely flat, you get the maximum page space to write on.
So far there are two cover designs to choose from: the Art Deco-inspired book, and the cute floral book.
Day 294/365
I’ll be at this amazing event tonight, selling my wares. It should be a fantastic night of story presentations, drinks and learning!

Day 288/365
Day 282/365
It’s road trip season here in Ontario, Canada! Sometimes this means a canoe trip, or a camping trip to a music festival, or cottaging with the family. Or maybe this year it means going to see your favourite athletes at some of the Pan Am games venues around Toronto and the GTA.
I designed this journal as a trip companion for a friend. She liked it so much that I decided to make more and put them available online. I’ve gone through a couple different designs, but this is the one I’ve decided to stick with. There is a strip of linen down the spine, for durability and a pop of colour, and even a little map page!
Featured above are the last three, each featuring a different part of Canada. Clockwise from the top: The Maritimes, The Great Lakes, and Quebec.
Day 278/365
Today I’m vending at the Blossom and Bloom Show in picturesque Unionville!
It’s in the courtyard of the Varley Art Gallery, 216 Main Street, Unionville.
