A Notebook to Fill with Memory

Soft purple suede cover with a gentle curve, because you're travelling the curve of the earth, but no mind, for here's the book with pockets, tucks and folds to store all your whimsical moments, photographs, snapshots, letters and reminders, given by tickets, collectables, and all the little things. Because they became the big things.

Or ballet-inspired? Thinking twisting sinew curves, with tutu, corset, ribbons and laces. All balanced on a single point.

Temptress, seductress, femme fatale

The stick collector's must-have

I don't know about anyone else's habit, but me, I cannot help myself. I confess to it. A necessary fondling, stroking, touching and trophy hunting. Generally of nature's vulnerable parts; specifically of her squirrel-chewed cones, bent sticks, crisped leaves, mineral-stained gravels, and sea-bashed stones. 

Doesn't everyone come away from a hike through the woods and a stroll by the waters with their pockets bulging of treasures?

Here then, is the stick collecting notebook for hikers, walkers, wood-lovers and damsels (like me) who like nothing better than to run amok in nature, gathering up her twisted willow, stealing her stringy birch, grubbing out her broken beech, and coveting her holly.

In soft brown suede with a bark-textured leather stick-keeping strip; then wrapped with brown felt, sparkled net, cream pages, and bits and bobs, such as a touch of oh-la-la French waxed paper and a folded page of hand-made India. All multi-layered, deeply complex, and made all the better by fanciful wonder - just as the best walks, and all the best experiences.

(And you can bet it's unique, like only a Knicker Drawer can be.)

Happy Birthday

A lovely eclectic mix of wants, to make a unique sensuous book... in pleather. xx

Collecting book of shells

I sometimes get the most lovely comments, and since I don't have a marketing or publicity department, I have to say them to you myself, instead. And this book of random beauty found in every shell upon the shore is 'a beautiful, original, complex piece of work'.

Inspired by an Edwardian Gentleman's Library.

Notebook for mammoth hunters...

...paleolithic admirers, all errant archaeologists, and any do-ers of derring deeds.

A select few only of this book on sale at the excellent Handmade and Vintage Show, Central Milton Keynes, 7-8 June, Stall 104.

But be aware! I only possess one antler, and I simply cannot wrestle any more deer this year.

Bark, tree, stick, wood

All at once-and-the-same-time, purposeful yet whimsical; delicate yet textured; leather and suede for firm-to-touch and soft trembling. What could be more delightful to hold?

Fun with fairies

Choice one, rich purpled leather, fairy trapped in fairy-trapping-hoop and pinned to the front; magnetic catch opens to delightful pink stained paper, stitched with fancies. You'll just have to look through, and see which fancy fairy flimsy tickles yours.

Option two (defies photography); Book of Wishes, has flappy wing bits, and contains actual! fairies! caught in the extremely special fairy net. Fun. Practical? You make up your own mind. Contains lots of notepaper and instructions for wishes.

Fairy book choice three! Edwardian ladylike, with ribbons and beads dripping from a flower-strewn interior. Open up to reveal complete garden, with fairies (hiding).

There are, of course, the evil faeries, the ones who flit the ghastly airs, drawing strength from the crimes of ne'er-do-wells and scoundrels. All books above are charmed in advance to resist those wicked wanderers.
