Day 306/365
Join me today at the Evergreen Brickworks for the amazing Etsy Market! I’ll be there from 10am – 3pm with a selection of my products (as pictured below).
Pro tip: It’s also the sunday edition of the Brickworks farmers market; a more laid-back version of the busy saturday market, where you can get brunch!!

Day 305/365

Day 304/365
The latest project: a custom guest book/travel book for a destination wedding! 
This is an exciting combination of scrapbooking, memory-making, journalling and special messages to the happy couple! Imagine what an incredible collection of memories it’ll be to share with family and friends for years to come.
I’m always so honoured to work on projects like these. Especially when given a bit of creative freedom and people put their trust in me to create a book that not only captures the memories of the special day, but also the atmosphere and vibe of the event.
If you have an idea for a special book, click Custom Order along the top menu bar and send me some information about your project! I’ll get back to you with a few more questions and then follow up details – easy peasy!!
Day 301/365

Day 298/365I’m so inspired by the warm weather and sunny days that I find myself really looking forward to Sprouts Press’ next event: the Blossom and Bloom show! I’ll be there saturday August 8th with a selection of my handbound books, kits and such.
I love how this event showcases handmade but also the local talent of Unionville. Just spend a few minutes chatting with show organizer, Pheoebe (of Pheoebe Lo Events), and she can tell you about the best of the best in this amazing community!

Day 297/365
I love summer nights, when it’s warm enough to be outside and not need a parka. This is a roundup of all the items that remind me of an inky sky, whether in the bright lights of the city or stargazing in the country.
From the top left, clockwise:
Painted Quick Notes in gold and black, No Nonsense Quick Notes in grey and black, Little Leather Journal in black, Fancy Coptic: Large with black details, Black and White abstract journal with hand dyed papers, Secret Belgian binding with black details.
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!
