Do you like a page marker in your journal? I love being able to find my place easily! Most of my leather journals on Etsy have them and I'll add them as standard going forward. ⚓️ I've cut them from the scraps of the rescued leather I use to make the journals.

Have you noticed that the edges of the paper in my journals are always uneven? If you're wondering why, it's simply because I like the way it looks; I think it lends itself to the fact that my journals are made from rescued, leather, all previously loved and imperfect. Technically these pages are "uncut", which just means the edges of the paper have not been cut straight with a guillotine.
