To honor nature in all of its aspects is to honor all aspects of ourselves... let the plants and animals be our teachers.

"THANK YOU for creating such exceptional cards and other precious paper products."

~ Jane, MN

"As a full-time writer, I go through a lot of journals and notebooks. The pocket journals made by Acorn Designs are not only lovely but the best-designed notebooks I've found. The paper quality is good. The generous spiral binding allows the journals to open flat or flit back on themselves.

The hardcovers are a dream when I'm doing research in the field and need a steady surface to write on. And the size is just right---small enough to tuck away, but large enough to be functional. Thanks for making such a great product!"
