5 out of 5 starsI love this journal. The cover is wonderful (I really like the leaf fabric that was used). It was fun to look at all the different papers that were used. Stunning work! Thank you so much!

5 out of 5 starsThe photos don't do this journal justice! It's absolutely incredible in person! I love the fact that a belt buckle is what's used to keep the journal closed. I love the colours used on the covers and I thoroughly enjoyed looking at every page inside. So many types of paper used. You can see all the love and care that went into the creation of this. Thank you very much for the super careful packaging and the quick shipping!

5 out of 5 starsThis journal is so beautiful and has exceeded my wishes for it. I’m so glad I found this journal. It is the perfect place to record our trip to the Great Smoky National Park. I love the fabric butterflies and embroidered flowers. I will fill every nook & cranny of this gorgeous journal. I’m so excited and look forward to getting my photos in the mail! The colors she used while making this journal are some of my favorites!

Passion for expression. We all have the right to tell each other.
Unique and exclusive blank books, intimate diaries, travel logs, for you to tell your intimate stories.
Creative Journaling Notebooks. Unique and exclusive blank books, intimate diaries, travel logs, and albums for artistic women, perfect to cherish your intimate stories.
I’m Silvia Borghi, restless, curious, tireless and creative. An artist and artisanal bookbinder. Enthusiastic, contradictory, passionate, flexible, and self-motivated!
For a long time I enjoyed interior decorating, I’m very skilled with needle and thread, and I trained in Art as mediation and growth, Art therapy.
I believe that art saves us, so my goal is to inspire you, so you can practice journaling, mixed techniques, creative writing, drawing, painting, doodling or whatever makes you feel good, in one of my blank books.
Art gives us the possibility of being and being better in the world.
I invite you to give yourself a little time each day to meditate, develop an intimate writing, or a few pages of color.
I love to travel; my favorite places are Mexican towns and antique fairs where I buy traditional embroideries, handmade papers, and small details that I will later use in my books and notebooks. I believe in the possibility of supporting Mexican indigenous people by buying their wonderful products and I consume responsibly by recycling old pieces that have years of accumulated energy and beauty.
My values are friendship, love, art and creativity. I chase with joy the source of inspiration that nature gives me, to inquire into my memory and ancient objects.
I encourage you to look at my travel diaries, my one-of-a-kind embroidered notebooks, photo albums, scrapbooks, memory albums, blank books, notebooks, artists’ books, object books, and art journals, and tell me what you think is necessary to build yours. I hope you find what motivates you!
Art saves us. And it is a right that we must exercise. Write yourself, be silent, and draw your life on a Fetiches de Cartón (Cardboard Fetishes).
