A sketchbook should be more than paper and thread—it’s a trusted companion for your ideas, ready to grow with every mark you make.

These A5 journals have been hand-bound with care and lay flat so you can create freely. Inside, 32 pages of Fabriano 200gsm cold press watercolour paper are sturdy enough for washes of paint, yet smooth for pencil, ink, or mixed media.

The cotton/linen cover features Lily Lover, a vibrant, painterly pattern celebrating the beauty of water lilies. Loose watercolour blooms in pink, lilac, teal, and warm yellow float across the design, with soft white brushstrokes adding light and movement. Joyful yet refined, it has a lively, elegant, hand-painted quality that brings energy and colour to your journal.

As a little bonus, this journal comes with a handmade pen or paintbrush holder in matching fabric that slips neatly over your book for easy transport—so your tools are always ready when inspiration strikes.

Handmade in Australia by Lou from Bound to Love Them, these sketchbooks support local craft and celebrate slow-made magic. More than blank pages, they’re a place to explore, dream, and bring your ideas to life—perfect for yourself or as a thoughtful gift.
