how lovely notebooks!!
oops, sorry – I thought they are notebooks…somehow my minde decoded “matchbook as notebook
they are notebooks, judit! just the tiny kind that are shaped like matchbooks
go with your gut!
What a great way to use scrap paper and create something useful – love her paper!!!
What a great idea! I like keeping a little notebook in my purse, and these are so much cuter than the store-bought kind.

i love the little notebooks! i ordered fabric from daisy janie, and i was just as excited to find a surprise cute little notebook in the package as i was to find my fabric. it’s so adorable, you guys, and just another one of those things that makes buying handmade and indie so much better than big box! when’s the last time target put an adorable little notebook in my shopping bag?
wow, that is totally brilliant! Now i know what to do with the scads of beautiful papers I compulsively collect for no apparent reason.
Thanks so much!
