These Travelers Journals are created from various upcycled materials, including upholstery fabric samples and garments, as well as commercial fabrics that catch my eye. They each contain handmade notebooks and many have pockets for storage. The notebooks can be replaced once they have been filled, which means you can keep the journal cover for years to come.
All of my journals are created in a pet friendly, smoke free environment. These journals are lovingly made by hand, not by machine and this means they may not be “perfect”. Their slight imperfections only lend to their charm and uniqueness.
Every effort is made to represent the colors as accurately as possible, but please note that colors can vary by the type of device and display they are viewed on.
