Pair of Peacocks notebooks
To do: Buy notebook from Red Otter.
To do lists are a daily part of my life. I have them scrambled on tiny post-its and scraps of paper, littering the dark corners of my tote bag. Sometimes I splurge and buy cute little notepads for my lists, although those tend to get used quickly as I almost invent lists just to use them. The notebooks at Red Otter would be no exception for me.
Julia Cumings, Red Otter's owner, designs handmade journals, albums, wedding guest books and notebooks. She has a designer's eye for colors and patterns and it is evident in her products. Each is made with beautiful paper and often mixed with a complimentary, unique pattern to make it truly a Red Otter book.
