Unwrap & Keep Memories - Handmade Journal & Kit

A little surprise to open, keep and fill with the moments worth remembering.

Inspired by the joy of a blind date with a book, each Unwrap & Keep Memories parcel is wrapped up so you don’t know what you’re getting until you open it. You’ll find a handmade fabric-covered journal and 25 colour-coordinated extras, all chosen to help you capture life’s little moments in your own way.

It’s made for anyone who loves journaling, scrapbooking, junk journals or simply hanging on to the tickets, notes and little bits of paper that tell the story of everyday life.

Each journal is made by hand here at Cornflower Lane, with a fabric cover and a mix of vintage and patterned pages inside. There are full-size and smaller pages, giving you 36 sides to write, stick and tuck things into, whether you want to write, draw, add photos or build up layers of paper and stickers.
