Perhaps you know a writer looking for their next lay-flat journal, an avid reader searching for a special place to record what books they've read, or family member wanting to record their favourite recipies in an heirloom book? A notebook addict that seems to have everything but hasn't got a Miniature Journal yet? Or a creative who loves to try ALL the art materials and techniques ever invented?
Well, this gift guide has you covered, and it's organised by colour palette for your enjoyment. Click any image to shop and view full details. Prices include UK delivery and international delivery is also available - check your last order dates towards the bottom of this post.
If you delight in crisp mornings and pale blue wintry skies, these are the books for you! I'm pleased to say that the Elves have been busy in the studio - I mean, North Pole Christmas workshop - making new Mini Journals for your gift giving delight. In calm white, with sea mist or teal accents, in material combinations of smooth leather and - brand new to the Minis - soft silk, they're sure to gladden the stationery lover who finds comfort and joy in tactile natural materials.
Miniature Leather Journal: White & Teal £25
For a cosier colour palette, these glowing beauties are sure to warm the heart of any artist or writer, doodler, list-maker or diary keeper:
Miniature Leather Journal: Peach & Lemon, £25
As reliable as nature's evergreens that we bring into our homes for Christmas, these bestselling journals, watercolour and general purpose sketchbooks are guaranteed to please:
A friendly reminder - if you live in Europe, Australia or New Zealand, please order from the Ready to Ship collection by Thursday 5 December (GMT) and if you're in the USA, by Wednesday 11 December at the latest for standard delivery. I'm taking UK orders until 19 December. Each and every order benefits from seasonal gift wrap and door-to-door tracking for your peace of mind.
Canada
As you may be aware, international mail services from the UK to Canada have been suspended temporarily in response to industrial action by Canada Post. That means that if you place an order for delivery to Canada, I will send it as soon as services resume.
A love letter to the European Union
To my deep regret, after 5 December I will no longer be accepting orders from, nor delivering to, EU countries. New GPSR regulations come into force the following week that will be far too costly for a micro business like mine to justify. No doubt you have by now heard the same update from other UK makers, artists and small businesses.
So, if you're one of my EU customers, I'd like to say thank you for your business over the years and please, let's not let this be a goodbye. I like to think that the bonds of creative community surpass sales and we can still benefit from circulating in each others' orbits - creatively, practically and perhaps even emotionally. Because why do we create, if not to feel and connect?
This gift guide comes with all good wishes for the festive season from the bookbinding studio, that is the Littlest Greyhound and I. And yes, that is our Christmas tree you can spot on the steps of the studio! That's where it lives all year, except of course from the Winter solstice to Twelfth Night when it's bedecked with golden lights and glowing baubles. I can't wait to bring it in and decorate for the holidays. Not quite time yet, though; I'm in the studio until the 23rd so if you need any help, just get in touch, my contact details are below.
