One TN maker I have followed for ages on Etsy is Mischa Rose of ElrohirLeather
To make it even better, Mischa is in the UK (quick shipping, no VAT …..well for now, anyway) and many of her items are ready made and will ship immediately. This is becoming unusual now, because more and more people are buying TNs, so many popular sellers have a wait of weeks, sometimes months.
I would have bought from ElrohirLeather ages ago because I stalk her shop regularly (I particularly loved her A4 Little Prince cover) but I have so many TNs now that I just cannot justify another purchase. I cannot use, or even display them all. Although I could probably be enabled….if you have bought from this shop just drop me a comment to tell me what you bought and how you like it.
Mischa’s notebooks are absolutely beautiful. She made me a special stars and moon TN cover (LOTS of bands to keep masses of stuff in and I was lucky enough to spot the Little Prince A4 cover before anyone else bought it. I also bought the purple fairy notebook for my granddaughter and the TN passport cover with cherries on (which I reluctantly gave to my daughter). Oh and I have a cute little minidori too. (I’ve just realised that I’ve given away all my Passport TNs!) What is particularly lovely is the beautiful paper Mischa has (some quite difficult to get hold of too)
Don’t even hesitate-my moon and stars make me smile every day
Thank you so much for this Jenny! Your TNs sound lovely! I am so glad it was you who got the A4 Little Prince. I loved that one to bits!
Misha was amazing and so so patient when I wanted a custom cover and pencil pouch for my nieces 30th birthday. I could spend a fortune on her notebooks. God help me if she ever branches into rings!
Thanks Bonnie – I REALLY want to buy one now!
Ooooh, bless you! 😀 What a lovely writeup about our TNs! 😀 It did make me laugh actually because (as Sharon will tell you, I have agonised about this before!) I also have about 100 and every time I make something I really like I have this sort of 24 hour conflict before I MAKE myself list it on Etsy… 😀 😀 😀
LOL, you know my pain then! I love them ALL but yours are so beautiful I think I just HAVE to have one in my collection!
Doooooo it! Buy one! I have six or eight of Mischa’s notebooks and I adore them! I gave one with a matching key ring to a friend as a birthday pressie, and she loved it. Mischa is lovely to deal with and she usually dispatches very promptly.
Oh Sharon you naughty pixie you! You are giving me a dose of my own medicine aren’t you? LOL! Is the leather similar to JanesEnigma or thinner?
*Beams helpfully*. The leather is a mix. I have an A4 and A5 which are thick leather, rather like JE’s. The one I bought for a friend was a small size and also thick. And I have a mini Le Petit Prince, which is thick leather. The purple and blue one above is much thinner, as is a lovely one I use in my bag every day which has a very long strap around it.
