Jubilee journals and a giveaway!!

It's the Jubilee Bank Holiday weekend! Woohoo!! Here in the UK, we get both Monday and Tuesday as Bank Holidays to celebrate the Jubilee occasion. The kids have had Jubilee parties at school and folk are putting up cheerful Union Jack flags and bunting all over the place. As promised, I'm back with my two Jubilee themed hand-bound leather journals. Here they are.



The first of the two journals is this one with a gorgeous turquoise suede cover.



If you saw my last post, you'd have already seen the inside which features this fabulous crown and Union Jack postcard.



The journal has 200 pages of smooth cartridge paper. Perfect to doodle, sketch or write in.



Here is the other one. This time, the cover is made from cerise coloured suede.



Both journals have exposed long-stitch on the spines and are held close by means of a long black leather lace / thong and a silver Celtic concho.



Like the turquoise one, this cerise one has 200 pages too.



And like the turquoise one, this one has the crown and Union Jack cards on the inside covers for support.



Both journals measure 5 inches wide, just over 6 inches tall and 1.5 inches deep.

OK, here's the fun bit. In honour of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee and in the spirit of Jubilee fun, I would like to give one of these journals away to one of you! I am happy to open this giveaway to my international readers too.

  6. Ady, I'm commenting just to tell you that both journals are beautiful. You've really got into bookbinding n a big way and the results are fab. No need to enter me into the giveaway draw - more chance for someone else then, although Anonymous above might not have much luck!!

    Hope you and your family enjoy the Diamond Jubilee celebrations!!

  15. I like the turquoise journal, but I would like to win the cerise one for my sister. She has just started sketching again after a 20 year break, and I would love to give her a gorgeous journal to motivate her to continue. I follow your blog, but didn't know you were on facebook. So will do that also.
