Flora Notebooks: Embellished Edition (Rose)

This thorny flowering plant is a metaphor for youth and beauty, and a sign of secrecy. Planted on graves to signify rebirth, roses that may entwine across graves and grow together are called a “Lover’s Knot,” illustrating love’s ability to transcend even death. 

Created in collaboration with People I’ve Loved, our Flora Notebooks pay homage to the magic and myth of flowers. This botanical booklet was inspired by flowers observed during summer artist residencies in Italy. Part of a collection that includes a summer bouquet of roses, poppies, and Queen Anne's lace, each notebook includes a unique terracotta vessel, alongside ancient myths and modern meanings associated with the featured flower. Collectively, the bouquet symbolizes themes of perseverance, remembrance, the persistence of beauty, and love’s ability to conquer eternity.

Our notebooks also function as bookbinding samples for those interested in printing and binding books at Conveyor Studio. The saddle stitch booklet binding style allows the notebook to open flat, ideal for sketching, writing, and jotting down summer daydreams.
