Cranes & Blossoms Coptic Stitch Journal (5x7 inches)

Remember when you were 13 and your journal was top secret, and totally embarrassing? Well, we've all changed dramatically since that fitful middle school age (thankfully!) but we still need places to vent and work through the mountain of thoughts running through our heads at any given moment. This time, you don't have to be embarrassed by the contents 20 years later...well, hopefully!

Whether you're working through major life changes (a journal is a great place to chronicle a pregnancy or a little one's first year!), traveling to new places, or just need a little somewhere to chart out the day-to-day nuts and bolts, the pages of this journal will give you plenty of clean white space to make sense of all those tangled wires that otherwise have the tendency to take over.

The details:

• Measures 5" wide x 7" high

• Covers feature Japanese silkscreened paper (chiyogami) with a burgundy and red floral pattern with white blossoms and cranes edged in gold.

• 40 pages (80, front & back) of hand-torn, smooth, heavy, ivory colored 100% acid free paper with feathery, deckled edges. It's the perfect surface for pencil, ink, sketching, or writing. (And, yes, it's so nice it's actually worth all those adjectives!)

• Bound with waxed dark brown linen thread with a sturdy Coptic stitch (open, knotted spine) that allows the book to lie flat when open.

We choose the finest materials for each book and carefully construct and assemble all of the pieces by hand. Our journals are constructed to be used and enjoyed, and to last for generations.
