You’ve got to promise me that if you ever make it to Austin aside from visiting one of my favorite bookstores, BookPeople, you will also go to Moxie and the Compound. Why you ask? Well, because they have very cute stuff made by Austin artists and I’m so excited to say that some of my journals are there too now!
Here’s are the ones that are now on display over there:
I’ve been a busy Bookgirl today and I’m so tired. I’ve cut a lot of paper today and think I’ve mentioned before that cutting paper is my least favorite part. The good thing is that tomorrow I get to sew all day. I have some new decorative papers for my book covers so it’s been fun to come up with the color combos.
Anyway, there’s so much going on in the blogosphere and I need to tell you about books read, books ongoing and all that good stuff so stay tuned.
Wow. Those are gorgeous. I think I’d rather sew, too! 🙂
i wish i could have such an ability as well….
How cool! Are you so excited to see your books on display? I’m excited for you!
That’s great, Iliana! And they’re beautiful! 🙂 (I’m happy to say I’m owning one now!)
Hurray for you! I’m so glad your business endevours are going well.
Danielle – See, that’s why I think you’d get a kick out of trying some bookbinding. The sewing is so fun 🙂
iselldreams – You should try a bookbinding course… It can be hard but some book structures are easy. And, in the end it’s just very rewarding 🙂
aka Nik – I haven’t seen them on display yet — I’m planning to go to the shop this weekend and see how they arranged them. I am thrilled 🙂
Melody – Thank you! I am so glad you liked your journal 🙂
Jodie – Guess what? I was on the Etsy front page yesterday! Oh my, I think I about swooned 🙂
Nice! We will definitely add it to our ever-growing “to see in Austin” list!
these are so gorgeous…I’m glad that the brick-and-mortar stores have your journals too! You rock!
Congrats on getting your beautiful journals in the store. Your work is lovely!
Yay! I’m so glad they’re in the shop. They’re just beautiful!
How cool is this?!! I hope to get to Austin some day!! Congrats on getting your merchandise in the store. Whooohooo!
Congrats!! That is so wonderful. Take some pics when you see them on display….
That’s awesome – congrats! I’m proud to say I’m the owner of a Bookgirl original. 🙂
How exciting for you! Of course, I would have to visit your favorite bookstores. I would love to visit Austin for so many reasons, but miss a recommended bookstore and cool boutique? No way.
I actually had Maker Faire on my calendar…even knowing I wouldn’t be able to get there. Also I loved to take some classes at the AOMA – yoga, tai chi, herbal medicine.
A hem. I “would love to take classes”…not “loved”
Congratulations! I bet those books fly out of the store 🙂
Wowzie!! It must be so thrilling 🙂
How do u do it! it looks so cute and wonderful! it really is! I would loove to get one for me 🙂 someday if i cn i will 🙂
Tiffany – There’s so much to see in Austin – you’ll love it!
Serena – Thank you – I’m pretty excited too!
Anna – Thank so much!
Andi – It’s very exciting!
Les in NE – Austin is waiting for you 🙂
Christine – I’m going to try and go over there this weekend. I’ll be all cool until I see one of them I’m sure! haha…
Lesley – And, I’m glad one of my creations is with a fellow booklover 🙂
jenclair – I totally missed Maker Faire – don’t even know how but we have a big studio tour event happening next weekend I believe so I can’t wait to go check that out. AOMA – what’s this? Sounds like something I need to look into! 🙂
Stefanie – Ooh, I hope you are right 🙂
Veens – It is thrilling! 🙂
I guess your handmade journals will be part of my buy-books-for-holiday campaign! 🙂
oh, those are so beautiful! I have to buy some of your journals to start the year off right. Already I have a huge collection, but nothing is as lovely as homemade, and I can see what a skill you have for this art form.
Your journals are awesome!! If I was in Austin, I’d definitely pick up a few for myself!! I love them!
How exciting, Iliana! What a great honor for you–and for them. 🙂 Your journals are so beautiful.
They are beautiful!
You are THE bookgirl! I love your little notebooks. Did I tell you I took the one I bought to Oregon to keep track of special moments? It was great. It fit perfectly in the visor storage thingie along with my green-ink pen. Every time I took them down to record something it made me smile. So cute and that you made it.
Congrats on being featured in the store. It has to be thrilling to see your beautiful work on display. I’m tickled for you.
Matt – Aw… I know my inventory is a bit limited right now but I’m planning to add more books towards the end of the month and hopefully I’ll also have more coptic journals along with my beaded ones. Yay 🙂
bellezza – Thank you so much! I tried emailing you a couple of times and am not sure if my email has gone through to you but just so you know, that journal is on its way to you tomorrow! 🙂
stephanie – You are so sweet. Of course if all of you were in Austin then we’d have to have a big book blogger meet up and I’d also take you guys to BookPeople 🙂
Literary Feline – Thank you! I’m pretty excited still and I haven’t even gone to check them out! I can’t believe the whole weekend just passed me up and I didn’t do that but I just found out they are having a big opening bash next weekend so maybe I’ll go then and talk people into buying my journals – haha….
Betty & Boo’s Mommy – Thank you 🙂
booklogged – Ha,ha… I don’t think in my wildest dreams I thought I’d ever be doing something like this but it makes so much sense 🙂 And, yes you did tell me about how you are using your journal – that puts a big smile on my face. Thank you so much for your support and for letting me know.
Congratulations Iliana! That’s just so wonderful! 🙂
