    I am completely hooked on Kates 'little' books! I have a few and have bought a few for my granddaughter who also loves them. They are beautifully made and I think each one is different in some way with lined or blank pages and sometimes with a little pocket included for special treasures. I have one on my table by my chair and I use it for notes I gather listening to podcasts and radio programmes. They fit into handbags and are useful for day to day notes and reminders or special notes and sketches. An ideal present for anyone ! Finally Kate packages them so well with a little card and gift tag enclosed. Thank you Kate.

    Would definitely buy again.

    Beautiful book, outstanding craftsmanship. I love the smocking. I wish I could do it. I would buy more if the shipping cost weren't so much. But I do understand how far it came to reach me. Thank you very much, Kate.

    I love Kate's books. They are all beautiful with innovative and unique stitching. I appreciate all the work she puts into recycling/up-cycling materials. And her natural and traditional techniques... it's rare to find crafts-persons who take the time to hand dye anything anymore.
