Purchased as a gift
I purchased this item as a gift for one of my coworkers who loves to journal. When it arrived, she was ecstatic! She called me immediately after she opened it and could not say enough about it. She loved the look of the cover and the feel of the paper. Knowing where the item came from and the history was really a surprise. Overall, I can say she was very pleased and so was I.
Exotic Gift
These were gifts for my nieces - I ordered two sets. They always wonder what Aunt Mer got them for Christmas - because I always send them something from Novica! They started trying to figure out what the paper was made of and how... They grew curious about the people who made the journals and researched! It's safe to say, they were enchanted. Since Christmas, the older of the two uses one regularly as a journal and the other for creative writing. The younger one writes and draws in hers. My brother had to convince them to start using them - they both regarded them more as objects of art than journals! I'm glad they got past that, but it does speak volumes about the beauty of these journals.
Lovely as a gift or for yourself!
The artisanship in this journal is so beautiful and so special. The way she bound the pages and then used the same length of material to use to close the journal is quite lovely and works wonderfully well. The image on the front is quite beautiful. I am so very pleased to have this among my prized possessions.
