A good friend had a special birthday recently and I made a journal based mainly on sand and sea colours as well as Bridport. Last time I was in Bridport I got a local newspaper from 1913. Several of the businesses advertising on the front are still there. Here are a few photographs of the journal.
Notebook 42 is a total experiment, the idea just floated into my head. I had been decorating some cardboard boxes with painted papers and decorative tape. I decided to leave the pull out packaging inside so that whatever it was used for it could be drawn out. That in turn looked like the outer covers for a note book. I have sewn the pages to a piece of linen cloth and then glued this to the spine.
Notebook 43 is a simple folded sheet of paper with a picture by Patrick Morgan cut out of the newspaper from an article on wine. The picture really appealed to me. The back is the a piece of decorated paper that has had some flower shapes cut out.

Your friend must have been absolutely delighted with this notebook. Just lovely.
Love the Patrick Morgan 'colour outside the lines' look of his work. Intriguing book in a box look!
I am always amazed at how you just switch it up from romantic to contemporary to somewhere in between. Lovely notebooks all. I am amazed that some of the businesses fro the 1913 paper are still a go. How great is that. xox Corrine
