Did you know we make visitors sign in books for businesses too? We recently we made visitors sign in books for a beautiful hotel in Sorrento, Italy @minervetta — in the past we’ve made visitors books for an exclusive jewelry store and Michelin Star restaurant in London, Airbnb hosts, cafes and even a hairdressing salon! If you’re like looking for a custom made comments/guest book for your business we’d be more than happy to make you a custom made design. . #lotusblubookart #hotelvistorsbook #guestbook #signbook #boutiquehotels #airbnb A couple of months ago I got a box full of antique boxes at an auction in Thornton Village run by @vintage_thornton . The lid of this cylindrical wooden box reminds me of the Yorkshire Rose... it has been filled with a scroll made of fabric, leather and hemp paper. Available tomorrow. Red Velvet — I’m slowly getting around to listing one-of-a-kind journals from my Caravanserai collection in between custom orders. This one is bound with 200gsm Khadi cotton rag watercolour paper🎨 . . https://etsy.me/2NiJqbK (link in bio) #lotusblubookart #velvetjournal #oldeworlde #watercolorpractice #watercolourjournal #khadipaper #oneofakindjournal #bookishlove #bookbinder #bookcollection #lotusblucaravanserai #rusticjournal #oneofakindbooks #handbound #handmadeartjournal #creativesouls #creativetrail #dailymuse #watercolorpractice #watercolorchallenge #watercolorjournal #cottonpaper It’s been so wonderful to have weekends off after years of working through them, now I make it a point to take time out. Today we went to the Lake District to see Hill Top, Beatrix Potter’s charming farm house. See more in stories🐇 . #lotusblubookart #beatrixpotter #hilltopbeatrixpotter #petterrabit I picked some wild blush pink tea roses while out walking the other day and couldn’t wait to photograph them with this journal from my Caravanserai collection. Bound with hemp paper to write, paint or draw on, a hardback cover with vintage embroidered velvet and reclaimed taupe leather spine, tied with silk and an old skeleton key. For the romantics at heart. https://etsy.me/2KTWQ0Z(Link in bio) #oneofakind #prettyjournal #handbound #uniquejournals #rusticjournal #dailywriting #dailymuse #romanticwriters #poetrywriting #giftsforher #giftforartist #oneofakindjournal #bookish #booklove #bookbinder #bookbinder #bibliophile #bookcollection #caravanserai #lotusblubookart Walkies in Thornton village🐴 These sweltering hot days are like summers used to be in the 80s, loving it! . #donkey #gentleanimal #summerwalks #donkeysanctuary Forest Finds — a guest book or photo album fit for elves and fairies planning an enchanted woodland wedding or any other special event.

Our new collection of writing journals are bound with this beautiful, earth friendly paper which is lovely to write on and equally great to paint on with gouache and watercolours. Why do we need plastics and other harmful materials made from petroleum when a variety of commercial items such as textiles, clothing, biodegradable plastics, paint, insulation, biofuel, food, building materials and animal feed can be made from this one plant? Then there’s its medicinal benefit as well as cannabis oil treatment for a multitude of conditions such as epilepsy and rheumatism (and more serious problems like cancer, which from experience I can say saved my life.) 🌿✌️ . . #hemp #hemppaper #sustainability #sustainablematerials #earthfriendly #ecopaper #cannabiscommunity #hempproducts #hempfest #giftforartist #handmadepaper #watercolorpractice #dailywriting #morningpages #dailymuse #journaling #writingcommunity #keepsakejournal #heartfeltcreations #fillyourpaper #journalling #writinginspiration #paintdrawwrite #shopsmall #mothernature #earthsbest Zaridozi — a special little book encased in a copper and glass shadow box.
