5 out of 5 starsPlumbrella has done it again! This custom calendar/journal is beautiful, fits my needs exactly, and is a pleasure to hold and use. I've been coming to this shop every year for the last four years to get the same planner because it's the perfect size and layout to keep me on-task for business. Thanks for your beautiful work once again!

5 out of 5 starsFantastic seller! I’ve ordered so many albums from them. This time, I wanted something for my Inktober Zentangle tiles, and there really wasn’t anything in the sop that fit my needs. I messaged them, and within an hour I was given other options, and was able to get a custom order. Their customer service is phenomenal and their quality is fantastic.

About ThePlumUmbrella
My passion is combining my love of color and pattern with my love of bookbinding
Call me old-fashioned but I still like to write things down. There’s just something different about putting pen to paper than there is in typing something. It’s more personal. It takes time. It gives you space. There’s something about having your thoughts represented in physical space, something you can hold in your hand. You can capture your present and read through your past. My joy is making vibrant, durable books that people use to organize, contemplate & chronicle their lives.
I've been learning the craft of bookbinding for 16 years. At my day job I repair books; at home I make them from scratch. There is a joy in crafting something from start to finish - envisioning how it will look and how it will function - and in the process of turning paper and fabric into a beautiful book where someone can tuck away their personal thoughts, dreams, photos and to-do lists.
I'm a very visual person, a lover of color and pattern. The right color combination can totally brighten my day and change my mood. I'm inspired by bright, vibrant scenes as well as dark and moody ones. I could get lost for hours staring at a great pattern.
My passion is combining my love of color and pattern with my love of bookbinding. The result is this shop. I hope you find something here that you love and will inspire you.
