Meet the Maker
Hi! It all started when my oldest daughter wanted to try her hand at bookbinding. We decided to turn it into a summer project. She didn't stick with it, but I sure did. Now, I have a workshop and have been making books for friends and family. My husband encouraged me to try to sell my handmade books, and so I am.
This shop is all about creating and selling handmade journals and sketchbooks. I like using unique fabric and paper for the covers. I use traditional bookbinding methods for lay flat case binding and booklet making. I plan to add more types of binding as I continue on this journey.
I hope you enjoy using these unique books as much as I have enjoyed making them!

How it’s Made
I hand-make all of my books using high-quality archival materials. I often use unique fabrics to make the book cloth for the covers. I am always looking for creative papers and fabrics that help set my books apart.
