Weekly BEST: WriteOwl

This week I have the distinct pleasure of introducing you to Write Owl Designs (WriteOwl) from Portland, Oregon.  The multi-talented shop owner, Jean, got her start in journal making at the age of eight.  You can read about her source of inspiration here on her Etsy profile.  Write Owl journals are perfect for doodling in, crafting poetry, and so much more.  Jean encourages those who buy her items to use them as platforms for creating their own art.

Writing has always been therapeutic for me, but most of the journals I've had over the years have been spiral composition notebooks.  If I could go back and replace those drab, boring notebooks with handmade works of art, these are the ones I couldn't do with out:

Pink and Brown Cupcake Hardback Journal $26.00

Romantic Vintage Postcard Hardback Journal $26.00

In addition to bookmaking, Jean also has a knack for making great desk accessories to go along with the journals, namely hand-painted pottery.  Here are a couple of my favorite pieces:

Peach Lace Ceramic Pencil Cup $15.00

Set of 2 Teal and Brown Lace Coasters $10.00

Keep in mind that Write Owl Designs also offers custom orders for those who don't find the perfect item already sitting in the shop.  Find Write Owl around the web at these locations:

Until next time,
Elle
