Vintage Book Journal by The Fancy Lamb

Ever since I was in elementary school, I've kept a journal.  Okay, it fell off a little bit in junior high and high school, but, er, ever since I've been in college, I've kept a journal.  It's an invaluable way to store memories, both important and not-so-important-until-you've-already-forgotten-them.  Before I found Etsy I'd always gotten Moleskine journals, but I decided to support handmade and search for the perfect journal.  I've found a fantastic option with The Fancy Lamb's amazing vintage book journals.

a page from, I guess, A Real Book About the Weather!

Robin from The Fancy Lamb uses the covers from old books and turns them into blank page journals, with a dash of the original book.  Pages from the original book are also thrown in.. only a few, so they don't take up space, they just make things more interesting!

this is a boring picture but it serves as a functional display

You can get the pages lined or unlined (it'll either say in the listing or you can choose a custom listing... and I'm just guessing, but you could probably ask her to change the inside of an already completed journal too).
The book is spiral bound so it opens up flat.  I wish there were more pages to write in (it comes with approximately 70 sheets), but you do have the option to refill the pages (although I wouldn't want to...).

After I purchased the book, Robin sent me a convo to let me know when it would be shipped out.  Everything was friendly and personalized and speedy.  All around, I just love the fun style of having a journal made out of an old book!  There are a ton of different titles you can choose from, and all the links peppered about this post go to a different one.  I think a good one to give as a gift would be "The Grizzly King"...
