🧐 What is Notes from the Curious Field Guide? 🧐
🌿 Monthly nature-themed analogue inspiration
📮 Includes photography and curated paper treasures
🎥 A link to watch the wander than inspired the issue
✨ Dreamt up, curated and hand assembled in the UK
Every letter begins with a wander. I visit beautiful gardens, ancient woodlands, historic places and hidden corners of the British countryside, filling my mini sketchbook, aka The Curious Field Guide with artwork, photographs, collected ephemera and observations along the way. Those pages then become the inspiration for each issue, inviting you to slow down with me, follow your curiosity, connect to nature and get creative.
🎀 Each monthly issue may include 🎀
🌿 A chatty letter filled with wonder, honesty and inspiration
📷 Original photography from my wander
🍄 Carefully curated and vintage paper treasures
🍃 Genuine vintage tea cards
📮 Collectable postage stamps
🎨 Interactive creative elements such as mini zines, bookmarks or illustrated activities
No two issues will be exactly the same. One month you may discover vintage Kodak wildlife slides and tea, and the next, hand-stamped keepsakes, seed packets, botanical ephemera or other carefully chosen curiosities inspired by the season and the story behind that month's wander.
Rather than creating a list of projects that can feel like another task to complete (I get overwhelmed by too many prompts and activities and end up feeling less creative!), my hope is that these letters become something you can return to again and again. Read them with a cup of tea, tuck the photographs into your journal, use the vintage treasures in your own creative projects, wander with me from your sofa via the exclusive videos, or simply enjoy collecting each issue over time 🕰️🫶
