Well, what can we say about bees? Without them we would probably starve as they are responsible for more than a third of what we eat. Everything they do, they do with complete commitment and dedication. They live to work and their presence in your garden is a sign that it’s a healthy place to be. So they are indeed Very Important Bees.

There are a whopping 270 species of bee in Britain alone and, around these parts, a bumble bee is known as a ‘Foggy Bummer’.

My VI Bees journal cover is one of my own favourites and in my top 5 most popular items. I never tire of carving them and I never make two bee journal covers exactly the same.

This hand carved and hand stitched leather journal or sketchbook slipcover comes from my 'Nature' range.

All Old Barn Leather journal covers come complete with an appropriately sized notebook.

All our products are hand crafted. That means that these hand-carved and hand-stitched refillable leather covers can be personalised.

It is usually possible to add detail to any of our journal covers, such as a name, initials or a date. This makes it a unique gift that will last a lifetime. If this is something that would interest you, let me know by filling in the form in the checkout section.
