bookstore

Last night I walked into a bookstore for the first time in years, or at least so it seemed. I wanted to walk slowly, to breathe deeply, to let my senses just enjoy being surrounded by so many wonderful treats. Unfortunately, with 3 small kids, it’s just a little impossible.

I browsed the journal area, and was in awe of all the beautiful things that I’ve been missing out on! My great little find was called, ecojot, made with 100% recycled paper and comes in the most beautiful designs ever!

They are available at Chapters/Indigo here in Canada, and a few places online, but really, there is no substitute for touch, is there?

nantaka joy

It’s Nantaka Joy’s new line of journals, and they are just beautiful! They are only available at select stores in the States right now, and I tried to order one online, but the shipping to Canada was more than the price of the journal itself! So, ummm, needless to say, I changed my mind…

I do hope that I can get one though – I am completely in love with the scalloped edges! It looks like the perfect journal to take everywhere in my handbag!

Leaf & Bamboo Journal

I found Ten Thousand Villages via How about orange.

They have a small, but really wonderful collection of journals and scrapbooks, and I love the mission of this company! I think I’ll be adding a new journal to my collection very soon!
