Beautiful image of the thistle. It would make a nice notebook cover. My books arrived today. They are beautiful and the quality seems really good, bindings seem solid. Can’t wait to start writing in them!

Oh good! I’ve been wondering. I want to order some too, but have spent too much already, lol. Would they make good gifts though? Good idea about the thistle.
