Fabulous Earth Friendly Journals from PrairiePeasant
Here I am again, feeding my obsession with awesome notebooks. These ones are from PrairiePeasant; a great etsy shop featuring lots and lots of journals created from old book rescued and given new life!
- Oh Canada Travel Journal: This journal is perfect for the traveller in both its size and style, easy to slip into a backpack or bag. And if you’re not travelling, why not have a place to keep your dreams?
- Citrus Pocket Notebooks, Set of Three: These personal envelope style notebooks are just the right size to fit into a pocket or bag to always have at your fingertips. The covers are made from sturdy cardstock with a flap closure to keep the notebook secure. The last photo shows an image of how best to open the notebooks: flexing the sides towards the back helps the tab pop out of the slit.
- My Bones are Yellow, What Colour are Yours, Anatomy Journal: This journal is part of my Anatomy Series. Covers are reclaimed bookboard covered with colour plate pages from the beginning of a vintage anatomy textbook, and lined with a matching yellow and green striped decorative paper. This journal is Coptic bound with green waxed linen thread allowing it to lie perfectly flat when open.
Nifty Stuff from Peace of PI
I happened upon Peace of PI by accident, and I’m so glad I did! This gorgeous shop is full of original art, jewelery, housewares, and notebooks, and that’s just for starters! The pieces in this shop are unique and magical, and it’s truly a joy to poke around there. If you’re looking for something a little unusual, make sure you stop by Peace of PI!
RockStar Sponsor: Trans-Canada Etsy Team
Let me introduce you to The Trans Canada Etsy Team…your number one source for Canadian Fabulous-ness on Etsy! I have never seen a bunch of folks who work so tirelessly promoting a group of Etsiers than this one.
Let me start by telling you a bit about their Team Canada Etsy store:
A beautiful shop featuring products from some of the awesome members of the team. It’s here you can also find these awesome goodie bags:
These are excellent selections of goodies donated by members and sold at an awesome price!
If the store weren’t enough, The Trans Canada Etsy Team also keeps it’s own team blog, which I just love:
It features information & profiles on team members, special promotions & sales, and their new Monthly Challenge: Each month, a challenge is issued and team members will submit a handmade entry that relates to the theme in some way. When the challenge closes, everyone will have an opportunity to vote for the entry that they think best represents the theme.
The theme this month is Autumn, and voting will begin on September 25, so come by then and vote for your favorite handmade, Canadian autumn creation!
Besides their shop and their store, you can follow the Trans-Canada Etsy Team on Twitter, to keep up to date with all their fabulous goings on!

Link Love: Shameless Magazine
Shameless Magazine is just a seriously awesome mag for young women, and their Shameless Blog is every bit as fabulous!
Shameless is Canada’s independent voice for smart, strong, sassy young women. It’s a fresh alternative to typical teen magazines, for girls who know there’s more to life than makeup and diet tips. Packed with articles about arts, culture and current events, Shameless reaches out to readers who are often ignored by mainstream media: freethinkers, queer youth, young women of colour, punk rockers, feminists, intellectuals, artists, activists…
Even though I’m just a tiny bit older than the average Shameless reader, I find the blog is always interesting, intelectual and often funny. Go check ‘em out!
