Announcement We have been so delighted by the response to our books, and we are grateful. New items are being developed and will be continuously added to the shop. We're especially excited about the books we're producing—our first, "Swift Shoes," features lines Beth wrote about a day when Henry Thoreau goes ice skating and Bill's illustrations, all contained within custom-created canvas covers. These are produced one at a time and appear in the shop as production allows. New such stories are in the works.

5 out of 5 starsSuch a lovely book! Not only is it beautiful, but you can feel the love that went into making it. I will make it a precious gift for my sister who appreciates and deserves such beauty and care. It even came tenderly wrapped with an eye to presentation.

5 out of 5 starsThe quality is, as always, superb. I love the colors on this journal and the feel of the cork. My friend is going to love this...too bad it's all hush hush until later this year.

I use handmade paper in many of my books—paper made from plant material and torn pages from my own published books. -

Each book is individually considered, curated, developed. Each is utterly unique. -

I use a variety of bindings to make each book whole. Sometimes I close the books with wooden or vintage buttons. -

It all happens here, in the room we call the book room.
Words plus Art. Needles plus Thread.
We're a husband-and-wife team taking great pleasure in the collaborative art of bookmaking. Bill, an award-winning artist, creates original art that we then reproduce and bind. I create handmade paper out of torn books and garden flowers. I search for the right words to accompany the journals—a prompt, an inspiration, a possibility. Each book is different. Each is made with love. As the award-winning author of three-dozen books in multiple genres, it is an honor to create blank books to hold the ideas and dreams of others.
