Mini Notebooks I bought from Marie, aka Wee of Wee Bindery
Just the right size for pocket or purse!
I asked Wee about what motivated her to create such beautifully crafted books:
"Ever since I was very young I was creating something. I made several books when I was young and always found the library fascinating with it's interesting books with their pretty covers.
Anyway, I have dabbled in so many different mediums over the years, taking workshops in jewelry making, etching, painting, pottery, etc. I have always sewed which was imbedded in me as a result of my mother and grandmother having been seamstresses (I have their Singer sewing machines dating from the 1920's and 1940's)."

One of Wee's Hardcover Notebooks/Sketchbooks, Florentine Flowers
"What I am getting at here is that bookbinding has allowed me to incorporate many of the learned mediums, especially sewing, into the process. I find it relaxing (not when I do a custom order tho) when creating a book and exciting once the book is completed.
I am obsessed with book arts and binding. I look at everything and wonder how it is made and how I can turn it into a book. My husband is afraid I am going to take apart the lovely, but old, brown leather couch we have so I can make books out of it (I could make about 100 books out of it)."

Exquisite stitching on this Name Notebook/Journal

I love hearing people's stories. Thanks for sharing! I will add one of those to my Christmas list!
I love Marie's little books - and her shop name, too :)
Oh I am a scribbler too - I keep a little notepad in my purse to write down things that pop into my brain. These are SO much cuter than the little ratty pad I have right now :)
I am always amazed at the things people make - very awesome.
I just love Wee's books. I especially love the floral ones and the little teeny tiny wee ones....so adorable.
