I’ve said it before, but I’m a big fan of stationery, and when you combine that with my love of travelling, I’m sold. I spotted this journal last week on Canada Day which seems rather fitting!
Created by Laura of Prairie Peasant, this fun little notebook would be perfect for a summer road trip journal (or just to dream about all those summer road trips you’ll take one day)! The covers are made from vintage atlas pages, handbound to lie flat when open. If you look on her shop, you’ll see that the pages are made from reclaimed computer paper, hand torn and with the tractor feed holes still intact!
Her World Map envelopes also caught my eye – I love these so much, I’d have to make sure that the receiver was going to properly appreciate the fun of getting a little piece of the world in the mail. Our young daughter, who is very curious about other parts of the world, would get a big kick out of getting one of these in the mail! Laura has hand chosen each set of envelopes to include a variety of world geographical features.
Laura hails from Winnipeg, and in a little twist of fate, the funky Cosmic notebook below features paper from Botanical Paperworks, a Winnipeg company that we highlighted last week! Sometimes, Canada really does feel like everyone knows everyone else ;)
In addition to her Etsy shop, you can also find Laura and Prairie Peasant online at Twitter, Facebook and her blog! Drop by for a visit!
Cheers,
