I got into bullet journaling during the spring lockdowns, and I’ve really been enjoying it.  This journal was my sister’s 2020 birthday gift (finished months late due to great upheaval in my personal life, but it’s the thought that counts?) She loves the song “In The Golden Afternoon” from Alice in Wonderland, and I used that as a jump off point for the theme, which became flowers/nature.  

(Completely forgot to take a picture of the frontispiece after I finished the book??? Derp.  Please ignore the sticky notes.)  

The book is structured so that the first section spans the entire year, a kind of bird’s-eye overview, before being split into individual months.  The overview section has pages such as “About Me” “Favorite Quotes” “2021 Goals” etc. all out lined in washi tape and embellished with stickers.  Other sections are hand painted/inked:

Each month section has a dutch door frontispiece.  When closed, it shows the name of the month and a corresponding poem; when opened, a calendar and two cocktail recipes are revealed.

Each month follows the same layout with different floral variations and mood trackers.  In order: goals, habits, gratitude, affirmations (those two with washi tape outlines only), health, mood, weather, and two blank pages labeled “[month] notes.”  The health and weather trackers are just grids; health gets ticked off on relevant days, and weather has squares to be tracked for temperature and a lot of space for regular notes (”nice sunset tonight” etc.)  The mood trackers are especially fun to create and to fill out.  They correspond to the theme far more loosely than the other pages.

I really loved doing the detail work.  I’ve been doodling in margins my entire life and it’s nice to see that blossom into something a little bit more structured and useful.

The last page in the book is one that looks back over the year before looking forward to the next volume.

Terracotta can be used to create much larger decorations, too. The mirror frames for instance, fill the walls of a client’s sitting room but are no less full of natural, rustic charm for all their size.

Within a large ribbon wrapped box came Nolan’s gift to Tyrinnis’ residence. Alongside it a note written in a careful script folded within the folds of fabrics inside.

Dearest Tyrinnis,

It would be my honour and pleasure to invite you to the Garenhoff Summer Ball and be your escort. Nothing would delight me more than to have your company and be by your side.

Perhaps it is presumptuous to include these gifts prior to your response, but I prefer to live in hope.

With all my love,

Nolan

On top of the thick layers of colourful fabric is a smaller box, from which Tyrinnis would pull an intricate necklace of floral design matching the pattern on the gown underneath. Once unfolding the layers of the dress it falls elegantly in cut with lilac petals and blooms framing the swaying skirt.

Nolan himself would arrive to Tyrinnis’ house prior to the event itself, within his nervous wringing hands a cushion upon which a beautiful flower arrangement rests in wait. A corsage that completes the outfit he had previously sent.
