I have managed to source this fabric recently and it caught my eye as it reminded me of the first shoots of green showing in early spring. A welcome pop of colour to brighten up colder days.

  • What a treat! These notebooks were bought as a memento of a summer in Bayeux! And they did not disappoint. Beautifully made and fabulously designed, in the most beautiful fabric. Thank you Linda. We love them!
