Curiosities & creations

Little worlds to keep, colour and carry.

Handmade woodland notebooks and hauntingly detailed colouring books, made for slow evenings, lamplight and a cup of something warm.

The notebooks

Open the cover and keep finding things

Each notebook is put together by hand, so the inside is full of little discoveries: layered pockets, a tree-shaped slot to tuck things into, and a set of illustrated cards and bookmarks to use, swap or give away.

  • Hardback cover with a lantern-lit woodland illustration
  • Leather cord wrap with a wooden bead closure
  • Inner pockets and die-cut tuck slots
  • Tasselled bookmarks, ephemera cards and a stamp set

About the studio

A cabinet of curiosities, made by hand

Lily's Pad is a small, independent arts and crafts studio. It started with colouring books full of witches, pumpkins and gothic heroines, and has grown to include hand-bound notebooks that feel like something you might find in an old woodland cottage.

Everything is made in small batches, with an eye for the details: the cord that wraps the cover, the card tucked into a pocket, the moth hiding in the corner.

Made with care
