Handmade journals created with care, ready for your story

I’m drawn to what still holds beauty and worth—even when it’s been cast aside. That’s what led me to make these journals. Each one is built from things that once lived other lives: old linens, bits of lace, forgotten book pages, yellowed maps, vintage photographs, scraps of ephemera that someone once saved.

These materials find new purpose in my hands. They’re stitched, painted, stamped, layered, and folded into something meant to hold your purpose now.

Every journal is one-of-a-kind, made to reflect a theme, a mood, or a memory. There are hidden pockets, flip-outs, textured pages, and quiet surprises tucked between layers. They’re not blank books. They’re spaces with soul—ready to hold the pieces of your life that deserve remembering.

What are they for?

That’s up to you. But if you need a nudge, here’s something I often place inside the journals.

TELL ME YOUR STORY

Tell it to Me, your Journal.

There’s grace here in these pages.

You can write for no one to ever read but you.

You can write to leave as a legacy—for your children and their children and theirs.

Write about your childhood, your favorite recipes, the funny moment that made you laugh on a hard day.

Copy your favorite lyrics. Record your prayers. Tuck in scraps of your life.

Your stories matter.

Even if it feels like no one sees you today, someone generations from now may long to know you—and through these pages, they will.
