Flora Notebooks: Embellished Edition (Queen Anne’s Lace)

Growing wild along roads and in meadows, Queen Anne's lace embodies abundance and fertility, while its nest-shaped seed head makes it a symbol of sanctuary and refuge. The lacelike blooms are used in magic spells and ritual baths to attract love, but its central dark floret remains a botanical mystery. 

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 pamphlet stitch is an elegant way to add texture and color to a booklet and allows the notebook to open flat, ideal for sketching, writing, and jotting down summer daydreams.
