Yes.  Brand new, heavy weight paper A5 Journals are HERE!  These beauties are UNLINED, heavy weight paper (acid free, and can handle pen, ink, light wet media as well, or good old-fashioned writing with no bleed).  120 pages (240 front and back) inside a beautiful kraft paper hardback heavy weight cover.  THIS IS THE PERFECT GIFT.  For you, for a friend, journals are the ultimate gift to give for self-care.

They just feel good in your hand, substantial, the keeper of all of your ideas and dreams!  Yes, waxing poetic here, but I LOVE A JOURNAL.  I love people journaling.  And I am so proud and excited to bring you this evolution of the In Blue Handmade journal.  All things are full circle, and if you didn't know, In Blue was known for just making journals from 2008-2020.  When covid hit, we pivoted, when the hurricane hit here in Asheville, we pivoted again.  And here we are, back to my roots and I could not be more excited to introduce what I think is our finest journal yet. 

These gorgeous books are a product of a collab with Glum Lot Press.  Our maker-space in Asheville post Hurricane Helene has 5 makers working in a 6500 square foot warehouse. Post storm In Blue opened our doors to other small makers who lost space in the storm to share ours.  We now have a vibrant, busy building and tons of collabs!  LIKE THIS ONE!

These beauties are ready to ship within a couple of business days IF ordered alone.  If you order with another made to order product, it will wait for the other to completed unless you tell us in the notes at checkout to get that book out first!  Just holler at us! 

When in doubt, add a note at checkout in general if you need anything changed (and then back that up with an email to inbluehandmade@gmail.com)  It's the fastest way to get this busy multi-tasking team's attention, and its first thing we see when we sort orders, and the last thing we check before sending an item. Otherwise, y'all, I am Ron Burgundy with the teleprompter.  I say this because, teamwork makes the dreamwork :)

Glum Lot press is a company formed from this group of makers, and we are so excited to introduce these first new journals.  You gotta love a recovery story.  This is my favorite so far.

Want a custom book?  Right now, we can only make those in bulk (6+ journals).  

Looking for lined books?  We are too.  Stay tuned, as we will likely have them in hand in the next couple of months.
