Bliss creates handmade, hand bound photo albums, journals and books with the same attention to detail, materials and creative spirit as with all of our other work. These make great gifts for a wedding, new parent or grandparent, recent graduate, sweet sixteen birthday, retirement or for that person that seems to have everything.

screw post photo album This is available in three different sizes - 7x9, 9x12 and 18x12 - each perfect for keeping memories of a special moment. They each have 20 hand cut pages which are then scored, folded and bound between paper covered boards with screw posts. These albums resemble the kind you might find in your grandmother's attic filled with pictures held in with photo corners. Prices start at $35, $45 and $80 respectively. If you wish to add more pages to your custom album, 10 pages is $5 more and 20 pages is $10 more.

accordion photo album This is a simple album that unfolds like an accordion and holds about six to eight pictures. It is a wonderful place for pictures from a weekend trip or to give as a gift. Each is made with a cream textured paper from Italy and paper covered boards. A simple ribbon tie holds the album together. Prices start at $18.

hand sewn journals & books Our blank books are a great place to write down your thoughts, dreams, favorite restaurants, books to read, vacation memories and anything else you want to remember.

Our new open chain stitch journals have an elastic closure. Prices start at $20 and $30.
