“Attic Journals began on a sleepy Saturday morning in 2004 when we happened upon a beautiful tattered book at a San Luis Obispo garage sale. With an immediate need of having an original gift for a friend’s birthday celebration that evening, she headed home to re-purpose the book and Attic Journals were born.

Attic Journals are made by hand thru the skills of a basher, a binder, and a book burglar deterrent (aka Chicken the Dog) using hard-bound vintage school books and library books that were destined for dumpsters, but given new life in our production studio. Each journal is made to last with approximately 75 pages of 24# paper and a sturdy wire binding.”

By the end of the day yesterday, 4 had sold. Like Michelle says, great gifts. I’ll put a couple on our website: www.artavenuegardenstudios.com
