Today I’m busy binding books and keeping abreast of the ‘make everything in time for holiday shows’ schedule. But I’m also pondering this design from a couple of years ago. Specifically, the bound-in bookmarks, complete with bead and coin detail (or without).
Personally, I love bookmarks in my journals, for easy access to the next blank page. I think they also add a bit of a finishing touch and complete the experience of using the book. But what about in larger books? Sketchbook size? If you have any thoughts on this, I’d love to know! Leave a comment below.
Just over a year ago I introduced a project I’d been working on for a while; printed logbooks! This was a design inspired by feedback from customers, at shows and online, who wanted handbound journals with specific purposes and printed pages. 
I’m so happy to say that they’ve grown to include 3 designs; Correspondence Journals, Reader’s Logbooks and Recipe Journals. And, of course, the colour selection has increased because I just can’t help myself.
To learn more about these books, check them out in my Etsy shop here. And if you want to read the original post I wrote about them (the one from a year ago), just go here.
Thank you to everyone who came out and supported me at the Etsy: Made in Canada show last saturday! And to everyone who liked, shared and commented on my social media posts!! I truly appreciate all of it and am humbled by your support of my little bookbinding company.
