While we're talking about journaling...

Here are some examples of beautiful journals...

My favourite journal is leather-bound and hand-made. It smells like leather, it feels like real paper and has texture, it's embossed, it looks... simply beautiful.

Mine is from Salamanca Market, Hobart Tasmania, chosen for me by hubbie. (Travellers can read more about Salamanca Market here.)

There are lots of places to buy them online, however. For example...

Etsy is a great place for hand-made journals... (images are all linked)

...like this one by Julie Boyles...


And there are many other fabulous sites...






Taj Mahal, perhaps?


Or one of many Celtic designs...


And a little more exotic in the choice of leather...


This one's kangaroo leather!

inscription...
The Family Journal, a modern take on the Family Bible!

Snakeskin journals... check out the Barramundi skin journals too!


and the classic "Little Black Book"






Not into leather journals? Here are some other suggestions...


From CafePress.co.uk


This is the Tree of Life Journal... they have lots of others!

For the artist...

Watercolour print journals from Bookseed...



Handmade paper...

For travellers, perhaps...
Travellers-Tales.co.uk

And for nature lovers...


So there you go, a few lovely journals to lust after! Just in case, from time to time, longhand journalling beckons!

Enjoy,
Kylie
