Handmade journals & stationery. Northants based bookbinder, using reclaimed leather. Shop Etsy, Two Barns and Margo & Evie Too
Hi, my name’s Jenni – stationery lover, self-taught book binder, maker of paper and leather things, captain of The Craft Fantastic! I love upcycling and reusing materials to create small batches of unique handmade items. My upcycled leather has all been rescued; I use it to make notebooks and journals, then with the rest of the off cuts I make mini books, bookmarks and pencil cases. Along with this I make a range of super fun stationery, from planner clips and stickers to wooden houses to give your stationery a home. Origami and papercraft is something I've been doing since I was young and, having done it for fun on and off over the years, I found a renewed passion for it! I am pleased to be able to offer a range of handmade paper flowers, origami jewellery, papercraft cards and more. Visit my website for details on custom orders, or click 'shop now' to go to my online Etsy store.

Thanks so much for this feedback! This is exactly my aim – quality product at a competitive price, using reclaimed materials. It's always really appreciated when a customer takes the time to write a review.

A7 is the smallest of my leather wrap journals (unless you count my mini book necklaces!). Perfect for chucking in your bag- or sticking in a coat pocket, now it's getting towards coat weather 🍂

Not just journals and stationery cases... here are a few of the smaller items in stock over at Two Barns at Heart of the Shires near Weedon, Northants; leather bookmarks and pen holders with an elastic strap to fit on your notebook.
Some fab ideas here 💕

Making clasps for journals by hand 🔨 I love shaping these simple hammered S clasps from brass or copper wire, to use as fastners of my hard cover journals.
