Sail Away Vintage Journal

Hello there,

I have a new Vintage Journal to share with you!  I love living close to the ocean, so I was inspired to make a journal that reflects the sea.

Front cover
This journal is 7 3/4" x 5 3/8" with a 2" spine. It has 2 handsewn signatures (sewn with a 3-hole pamphlet stitch), holds 84 pages, counting fronts and backs, and has lots of space for journaling.  Many of the pages are coffee or tea stained and oven baked. It has charms attached to the spine on a removable chain.

It contains tags (many with charms), ephemera, bags, pockets, envelopes, tuck spots, corner flaps, 2 paper clips, and some Prima Seashore metal clips and more! It closes with a Tim Holtz hitch post and a black stretchy clip.

The cover is reinforced with "Tyvek" for added strength and is made from a food box which was cut to the size needed.

  1. Love it M'lou! Funny that I was just saying to Den that when I make a journal it will either be flowers or "beachy" This is just lovely! Great job girlfriend! Hugs

  3. I should have watched your video before I commented! Your journal is so beautiful and unique. You manage to gather a variety of ephemera and trinkets that create a little piece of art. It is full of details! What a great job tea and coffee staining the pages. I can see why this sold quickly! Congratulations on another lovely creation!
