Just some pleasing stacks of colourful notebooks.

We sold our first personalised notebook in 2013 🤯 and we started with this range of colourful softcover notebooks - and it’s still one our best selling ranges and is loved by lots of customers who keep coming back to add to their collection.

Our new ‘Hattie’ design in our various binding styles.

A clean, confident, and modern design with a subtle nod to 1920’s inspired typography.

We work a lot with this linen embossed paper. We use it for our guestbooks and notebooks. It’s crafted in Japan and we love it for its distinctive texture.

In a digital world, we’re drawn to papers that are tactile - something you want to pick up, hold, and keep.

Looking forward to listing our new ring binders next week.

We had ring binders written down for 2026 when we wrote down a scrappy product development plan in 2023 - quite proud we stuck to it and they are now here!

Just a little appreciation post for our brooklands green cover paper. 💚

After being out of stock for a couple of weeks - we were reunited! And spent a morning making lots of green books. It is our most popular colour, especially for our hardcover guestbooks.

An alternative to a greeting card for Mother’s Day.⁠..⁠
⁠
And yes, I may have encouraged my child to write why he loved me, in the aid of content, and I can confirm, it feels rather lovely! ❤️😂⁠
⁠
Just how amazing to capture those early years of learning to write in a little keepsake book. There won't be a “to keep or not keep" dilemma with this one...⁠

1. Workbench pride - 2 years spent perfecting our guestbooks. Love seeing them come together from screen, to print, to bind.
2. Lots of books made for a women’s lunch
3. Perks of the job - day trips to pick up machinery and a perfectly timed pit stop ☀️
4. Probably the most exciting purchase to date (for me!) Isn’t she beautiful. Probably the same age as me too!
5. Teeny tiny 10pt Gill Sans type.
