Handmade Notebooks

These notebooks are hungry--feed them with your big ideas, meandering muses, sketches, lists, letters, doodles, visions, notes, narratives, plots, and keen observations. Handmade in a little room in a little house in Seattle, preferably while listening to the rain on the roof and the wind in the trees. Covers made from thrift store treasures -- books mainly, also puzzle boxes, comics, flash cards, and other vintage paper ephemera. These are notebooks with a past -- their future is in your hands.
