Fleet Objects grew out of a love for natural materials, making things by hand and an obsession with the ocean. Zoe Garred uses clay, leather, metal and canvas to create objects ranging from jewelry to tableware to bags to lighting.

paperbacknote rebinds used paper back book covers and turns them into notebooks.

Every paperbacknote notebook is made with an original cover from a used paper back novel culled from thrift shops, garage sales, and boxes in basements and attics. At first glance, these notebooks appear as though they are real paper back novels. Only when you open them up do you discover the true secret inside. They are blank! At least until you fill them with your own thoughts, stories, pictures, and words.

A perfect gift for an aspiring writer, note taker, list maker, journal writer, or anyone who wants to keep their notes under cover.
