♥ la paperie & cozy ♥ handbound journals, handmade soap
Profile Information
- Location:
- beautiful Nova Scotia, Canada
- About Me:
- My name is Beverly. I’m a part-time English teacher, freelance writer, bookworm, and avid bookbinder and soapmaker living and laughing on the east coast of Canada. I have a very patient husband (♥), three lovable but crazy indoor cats, a house full of books and journals, and various anthropomorphized appliances. I appreciates the little things in life...like whales and wasabi.
When I’m not making things, I can be found with my nose stuck in a good book (most likely a well-loved classic), volunteering, wandering about nature on foot or by kayak, painting/drawing, viewing my multitudinous BBC period drama collection, singing, writing (in a journal of course!), keeping up my sushi addiction, and engaging in lengthy conversations with my rather talkative cats.
~HANDBOUND JOURNALS~
“Journal writing is a voyage to the interior.” ~Christina Baldwin
My love affair with journals started at an early age. In my quest for the ‘perfect’ journal, I decided to start making my own and share my love of the blank-book with others. Each journal is unique and lovingly handcrafted using the finest materials, for a wonderful writing or drawing experience. The blank pages are archival acid-free and lay flat when opened, to ensure comfortable writing and/or drawing. Of course, no journal is worth more than the words they store. See journals currently available at the online shop: http://lapaperie.etsy.com or email for local orders.
~HANDMADE SOAPS~
Who doesn’t love a bar of aromatic creamy handmade soap? It’s of life’s little luxuries! I make all my soaps using the cold-process method with all-natural ingredients. All are subtly scented - not overpowering. (I like to stick with using essential oils as so many people have allergies to synethetic scents, but I will use the occasional fragrance oil for more scent options.) My soaps contain no preservatives, SLS or detergents. They are handmade the old-fashioned way that retains the naturally occurring glycerin. No shortcuts! Only high quality oils and butters are used as well as all natural botanicals. My soap are made in small batches and handcut, assuring that no two bars come out exactly alike. They are luxuriously moisturizing, creamy and gentle, and are designed to baby your skin. For a longer-lasting bar, soap should be allowed to dry between uses, using a vented soap dish. See soaps that are currently available at the online shop: http://lapaperie.etsy.com or email for local orders.
