It's always exciting opening boxes here at Friends, because I never know just what I'll find - we're constantly receiving shipments of hermit crab figurines, telescopes, raccoon finger puppets, custom-made socks, hand-carved gourds from Peru and fused-glass jellyfish, just to name a few. This morning, as I opened one of our latest shipments, I knew immediately that we had picked a winner.
These Naturalist Library Pocket Journals, made by Michel Design Works, are the newest addition to the parkstores. Brightly colored, intricately designed and oh-so-compact and convenient, these little gems are perfect for the naturalist with a passion for writing (or anyone with a grocery or to-do list!).
Each notebook features a delicate study of birds, flowers, shells or fish. The patterns are overlaid with romantic handwritten words and phrases culled from vintage postcards. The designs evoke old-fashioned botanical prints, sketches and watercolors done by early botanists and naturalists. As a testament to just how gorgeous these notebooks are, we sold three to our staff before the price tags were even on! You can get one too, by visiting any of our five park stores.-Kat Bailey, Retail Assistant
