Who we are

Hi, I’m Michaela, I make eco conscious + handmade notebooks and journals, which are hand painted, hand stitched and personalised on my vintage typewriter (her name is Dorothy)

As a maker it is important to me to be mindful of the impact my business has on the planet.  I consider carefully the materials I use, whether that be paper made from textile industry waste, or vintage linen threads and environmentally friendly packaging.

I also consider carefully the waste (offcuts) my work produces and how they can be re used.  I get a lot of offcuts of beautiful cotton paper from my bookbinding work, so I love to weave them in to super useful and durable baskets. Or make them in to hand painted typed tags and notecards.
