Tree Free Soft Cover Journals

It recently came to my attention that the discount for buying 3 soft cover journals wasn't working correctly.

My math for the large journals was waaaay off & I didn't have a note that in order to receive the discount you needed to select 3 from the options menu.

Hopefully everything is fixed so that now when you choose 3 large or 3 small from the options menu on the journal page, you will receive a $3 discount.

One problem with being a sole proprietor is you only have one set of eyes which sometimes get very tired, so I don't always see mistakes.  When you are making a purchase & something isn't working right, please send me an email so I can fix the issue.  Not only will I appreciate it, so will everyone who comes after you :)

Why do they use handmade paper? Besides the fact that it beautiful...

On average, a person uses more than 750 pounds of paper each year, which is the equivalent of nine big trees. More than half of the wood used by humans goes into various paper products, including boxes, napkins, disposable dishes, gift wrap, etc. These products rarely contain recycled fiber, and most of them are made of freshly cut trees. Each year many of the world's biologically rich forests are disappearing at an alarming rate and the cause is the expansion of industrial tree plantations, which supply pulp to meet worldwide demands for paper products.

With demand for paper expected to double in the coming years and the impact this will have on the world's forests, the search for alternative sources of paper pulp has become very important. It takes 60% less energy to manufacture paper from recycled stock than from virgin materials. Production of a ton of normal paper needs 20 trees and 7,000 more gallons of water than a ton of 100% recycled paper. Moreover, chemicals like chlorine are used in the bleaching process of these papers that releases chemical dioxin and other toxins, which pollutes our air, soil and water. Sometimes 1000-year old trees are sliced up and shredded into chips, shipped across the entire world, only to be chemically pulverized, bleached, and flattened to satiate the world's ever-increasing appetite for paper products.

Their cards, journals and photo albums have to be touched to be fully appreciated.  The beauty of how the textures come together is amazing!  They are so beautiful, they can be framed and hung on the wall to be admired by all!

Buy one for yourself, a loved one or a client.  You'll make a statement with your discerned taste, care for the environment and consideration of the recipenient!

"The most exhausting part of our process is in the collection, washing, and preperation of the bottles before the creative part even can be considered. It would be MUCH EASIER to purchase art glass ready to go...however, it is our passion to create beautiful items of both form and function from the glass otherwise destined for landfill or waste."

Lovely!
