I got this for an odd purpose: to hold everything needed for the mini cross stitch projects I work on, in a container I don't have to worry about falling open, that will protect the contents from squishing and condensation when I carry it in my lunch bag beside an ice pack. Happy to report it serves that purpose well! Cloth, pattern, thread bundle, sheathed embroidery scissors, and needles all fit in with room to spare (cloth and pattern have to be folded, but I expected that). A hoop with a small enough diameter would fit too but I don't use those. Not sure how the sticker with the wording on front of the tin will hold up to wear and tear over time, but it's done alright so far. Reasonable price, shipping certainly can't be helped when it's arriving to a different country, and still better than some shipping costs I've seen.

Whirling World - Literary Notebooks & Stationery

"I turned silences and nights into words. What was unutterable, I wrote down. I made the whirling world stand still." - Rimbaud

Words are powerful things, and those of us who are obsessive readers, writers or 'just' compulsive note-makers are at their mercy. Whether we write our own stories, or just try to keep our lives organised, the humble notebook is quite simply an essential tool.

I'm a wordy person (you may notice) - but my creativity ventures in all kinds of directions. Most recently, I have been making collages with vintage postage stamps; however, I have found that my ideal canvas is not a canvas at all, but actually the plain old common-or-garden notebook. I mention this to illustrate just how far my pre-occupation with notebooks stretches... (Check out my collaged notebooks here: http://tanglecrafts.etsy.com)

My collage artwork and a search for the perfect notebook to use as canvas eventually led me to the possibility of having my very own notebooks printed - at first just the covers, and then - finally! - the inner page layouts, too. I was very happy!

I grew up in a house full of books, with parents who were both avid readers and hoarders. My entire adult life, I have worked as a bookseller. I have thus read widely and somewhat eclectically, discovering all manner of word-filled treasures. I love my postage stamp collages, but the (lack of) winter light is not conducive to getting as much work done as I would like. Notebook design, however, can be done in any light, at any time of year, and so my creative frustration has found a new outlet. It is also the perfect excuse to sit down and read a good book, because now that is just 'research'. ;)

I hope this Whirling World shop will appeal to fellow readers, writers and bookish types. The quotations I have chosen for my notebook covers are a very personal selection that (with one or two exceptions) are a little less common. They're the words that have stuck with me over time, and exemplify (or, in some cases, helped to build) my own world-view. They made MY whirling world stand still. :)
