Giveaway - a book of good things, always a good thing

October 25, 2014

What better way to spend a Saturday night than in the splendid company of a stack of papers to be folded! Tonight I'm refreshing the old favourite, my book of good things. This is the third (and all new) English version since I began making these English ones in 2007; the first Finnish books of good things were made over ten years ago (can't quite believe it myself), in a slighly different book format, though. Like all things, these books need a little updating every now and then, even if it's just to keep me from getting bored with making them. I knew it was high time to raise the prise or streamline the process, and I opted for the latter to keep everyone happy. I hope to share a finished book of good things in a day or two!

I just realized this is my 500th blog post over here, and I'm all for celebrating round numbers. So, I'm giving away one of these new (and still a bit mysterious) books of good things! Leave a comment below and you've got a chance to win one. I'll pick a winner at random on Thursday evening (Oct 30th, around 9pm GMT-2) and announce the winner here. Please make sure to leave your e-mail address in the comment form (or the actual comment), so I can contact you if luck favours you!

PS. There are still a few books of good things with the old design and content available in my shop! Once they're gone, there won't be more!

EDIT: The random number generator generated the random number 2 (sorry, I've yet to master screenshots with my iPad!), which means the book of good things goes to the lovely Deanna of EmeraldCut!

The Paperiaarre shop is open again! I've now returned from the incredibly lush Edinburgh where I had the privilege to stay at a wonderful writing recidency. So many long walks, big hills, old kirkyards, and vinegary treats!

As mentioned, the shop is

On my to-do list is to add this stack of vintage kimono notebooks to my shop. Some time next week, I hope!

I made these using the sewn boards binding structure that creates lovely semi-flexible covers.

We've now made it through the darkest moments of winter, so maybe soon I will finally get to my stack of journals waiting to be photographed. Read: New books coming soon-ish!
