Etsy has long since been one of my internet obsessions. Back in the day I was crafting mad (although not especially talented at any one area) and used to spend hours on Etsy searching for inspiration. These days I browse the site for things to buy, having pretty much given up on making anything of worth to anyone. Recently I’ve come across Coco & Bloom who make the most beautiful notebooks; they also score bonus points for being made exceptionally local to me.
I’ve let Jai introduce her shop in her own words as no body can sum up hand made goods better than the maker can they?
Coco & Bloom is a fabulous book boutique created by Jai Taylor from Bristol, England. As a qualified Journalist she loves to write but, her biggest love is being creative. She was always running out of notebooks and struggled to find a beautiful notebook or journal to inspire her creative jottings. So, she let her creativity take over and hence Coco & Bloom was born. She calls herself ‘the Book Artist’ and loves the freedom of creating the most beautiful books that inspire you to write. Stunning florals and deep Turquoise is among some of her favourite patterns to use and she loves using the luxury of satin ribbon tied in a beautiful bow. A gift for yourself or a friend – Coco & Bloom Handmade Books will always be the perfect present. Prices start at just £3.95 for a Mini Book. See her and her fabulous designer books at her next event at Winter Gardens, Weston Super Mare on the 19th and 20th of April 2014. You can also visit her beautiful book boutique at www.cocoandbloom.etsy.com
I’m a massive fan of cute and quirky stationary and I have several of Jai’s books on my wish list. I’m also hoping to pop along to her next event on the 20th of April to say hello and make some purchases.

Etsy is a weakness of mine, those are so gorgeous too!
So beautiful. I love cupcake print. Etsy sure is wonderful for finding lovely and unique items. I finally found flats with a unicorn on them recently on etsy. No where else would have that!
