Notable Journals!


Notable Journals was born when Kameron couldn't find a journal appropriate for her 7-year old daughter. After searching in physical stores, online, and at boutiques, she was commiserating with her mother, Cass, and they decided to write and design their own. Necessity is the mother of invention, as Plato said!

Now their journals are available in 3 editions (standard, Jewish and LDS), boy & girl varieties, and 20 different covers, with more to come!

Full of fill-in-the-blanks, multiple choice, “would you rather”s, spots for pictures, and blank pages for free-writing (over 55 pages), A Year In My Life is meant to last an entire year (imagine that!). It covers each major holiday, hobbies, likes & dislikes, and allows children free reign with their imagination while subtly nurturing that inclination.

Also in the works: a children’s travel journal, and adult family history journal, and more! Their etsy store will be up and running soon, too, so keep tabs on either www.notablejournals.com or notablejournals.etsy.com!

She makes the cutest and yummiest cookies and treats! At the boutique she'll be selling a variety of decorated sugar cookies, chocolate bars, traditional cookies and seasonal bars and cookies. You can read about her business story on her website: evelynsbakery.com Warning!! These pictures will make you hungry!







Ramona Owen Designs

I'm excited about each of the vendors joining us for the boutique and as I'm getting things underway thought it would be fun to spotlight each one. Today I'm spotlighting Ramona Owen of Ramona Owen Designs. She specializes in handcrafted burlap designs and festoonment ( I like that word!). She has some great and unique items for the holidays as well as every day. At the boutique she'll be selling burlap needlecraft, hand painted burlap and cotton pillows, pillow-ettes, porch pillows, bean bag collections, pincushions, burlap clothespin clips, burlap pumpkin seeds and squash, and some hand painted signs and chairs. Here's a few pictures to get you excited about the boutique. You can see more of her items on her etsy site or blog. Enjoy!
