I started making journals in 2019 and selling at the Manchester Craft Market in 2022. My mother, the Hen in Happy Hen, was my inspiration, and making journals has been a way for me to feel close to her. My mission is to create an inclusive space where anyone can discover their love of paper and journaling. I These one of a kind creations are a tactile, interactive experience and often include repurposed items, including vintage and antique ephemera.
