I absolutely love journals, cannot seem to get enough either for myself or for the shop. I have loved the journals over at Five and a Half for a very long time. Well, they are finally lining the shelves here at Edith and Edna.
Here is a little information about them and their awesome journals, taken from their website:
Five and a Half is a Brooklyn-based bookmaking and design studio that I started in the spring of 2006, when I began creating a line of journals that are functional, lightweight, and made with sustainable materials.
Each journal is filled with pages of sugarcane fiber and postconsumer recycled paper, a textweight surface that is ideal for writing, drawing, and painting, while leaving the planet's dwindling supply of trees untouched. There are useful details present in each journal ~ an inner pocket for looseleaf notes, and a perfect-bound spine so that each book opens flat for writing and drawing across the pages. The cover designs are made in limited editions, featuring original illustrations or photography.
Light and functional, each handmade journal is filled with 3 shades of sugarcane and recycled text weight paper in cream, white and tan; a resilient spine that opens flat for writing and drawing across pages; and an envelope-style inner pocket.
5” x 7 1/2”; 75 pages
$ 28.00
So come down and see for yourself what makes these journals so wonderful!
