This sturdy A5 hard back notebook is ideal for keeping in your bag and perfect for jotting down useful notes and lists. It makes a lovely gift for anyone who leads a busy life, likes to keep a journal or just wants to make notes.

With a textured hardback cover, the front of this notebook is illustrated with the ‘Highland Wishes’ illustration which depicts an adult highland cow standing protectively over its two calves. All the cows have adorable, scruffy brown fur. The design is set against a beautiful pale blue background and surrounding the illustration are speckles of black paint, in a way that is synonymous with the Wrendale brand. The back cover features a beautiful, shaggy highland cow munching away on a bunch of flowers. Both designs painted in the gorgeous watercolour styling of artist Hannah Dale, and at the top of the front cover is the text ‘Notebook’ in a cursive black font.

Inside are roughly lined pages with an illustration of a baby calf lying in the grass in the bottom right-hand corner, in a black and white colour scheme. This hardback notebook is finished with an elasticated closure to keep the book secure when not in use.

With its beautiful brushwork and interesting design, this notebook is the perfect size for keeping on your desk, at home or in the office, or on your kitchen counter to jot down any ideas or musing when inspiration strikes. It would make a brilliant present for any lover of Hannah Dales illustrations. It would be a brilliant present for a friend or family member on their birthday, at Christmas, or as a treat for yourself.

Wrendale Designs

The wonderful Wrendale Designs collection is inspired by the animal characters seen in the British countryside, farmyard and home, as well as more exotic creatures. Featuring original artwork produced by much-loved Lincolnshire artist Hannah Dale, each image is delicately painted with soft brushwork, subtle colours and her signature speckles of black paint.

Hannah is an ex-stockbroker turned farmer’s wife who, inspired by her rural married life in the English countryside, embraced her artistic roots and began painting the animals in the landscape around her. Since then Wrendale Designs has expanded into a family business and the collection has grown over the years, ranging from stationery to homeware, accessories to storage tins, clothing to ceramicware from British brand Portmeirion, all featuring artwork touched with the magic of Hannah’s watercolour brush.
