My winter sale is an excellent opportunity to buy that little gift for yourself that will help you engage with your creativity. It's also a great way to save on this year's birthday or wedding anniversary gifts. Buy now, then put in a safe, secret place until the special date approaches.
Save between 25% and 50% on my handmade Miniature Journals. I've a few available in either luxurious leather or eco-friendly, vegan cork. Both types are super cute, soft and just lovely to keep in a pocket or bag. You could compile a little notebook of affirmations, make a series of tiny sketches from your walks, or write down favourite quotes that will keep you going through the year.
If your plans for 2026 involve spending more time with your art materials, these sketchbooks are just what you need. Choose from a travel sized leather watercolour sketchbook, or a concertina sketchbook that expands to over 1 metre! The leather watercolour sketchbook is available in one of my most requested colourways, and it's particularly good value with 50% off the small A6 size at the moment:

Whether you're planning your own wedding in 2026, or you'd like to buy a gift for a newly engaged couple, these guest books will bring refined craftsmanship and tactile beauty to your special day. And, more importantly, they'll help capture a whole host of memories and good wishes from a day that most people getting married only remember as a blurr! I've three different styles available in the sale. They're all leather, and bound with either natural linen or elegant silk ribbons. I have 50% off three wedding guest books whilst stocks last.

Scroll down for an overview of what's available in the sale, or browse the winter sale collection here. UK delivery is free of charge, and I ship worldwide (except sadly not to the EU at this time). Please bear in mind that there is usually just one of each book available, so if you see something you like do purchase it right away.
I hope my winter sale helps you buy a special book for yourself or a loved one. Thank you for all you support this year, whether you bought my work, wrote a review, sent me messages or shared with your friends, family and colleagues. I truly appreciate you.

I’m sure you’ve been dismayed to see that many artists, makers and small businesses in the UK won't accept orders after August 29th. I am not one of them. Here's why...

This Cotton Rag Sketchbook was inspired by mourning stationery I saw at a Victorian Gothic event at the Russell-Cotes Art Gallery and Museum in Bournemouth...
