The Autumn Almanac — Hedgerow & Harvest Junk Journal Kit · 73 Printable Pages
Some old books are really just somebody's handwriting.
A farmer's almanac kept on a kitchen windowsill — moon phases printed in the front, weather lore in the back, and in between, decades of pencil notes. When the first frost came. Which apple did best. Where the good brambles were.
This is a junk journal kit built like one of those. Hedgerows heavy with blackberries, sloes and rosehips. Toadstools on the woodland floor. A harvest moon with its phases arced across the top of the page. Geese going over at dusk. Conkers out of their cases. A jar of damson jam with the label left blank.
Painted in burnt sienna, ochre and russet, deep moss, damson plum and faded sepia ink on cream parchment. Earthy and low and warm — October light at four in the afternoon.
Deliberately not a pumpkin-spice autumn kit. This one is hedgerow, weather and harvest: quieter, older, and made for actually writing in.

A note on the blank plates — the tags, labels, plant markers, preserve labels, specimen cards, frames, journaling cards and record grids are intentionally empty in the middle. An almanac isn't finished until it has your handwriting in it.
Printing tip — warm cream or oat paper around 200gsm, matte. The palette is built on aged parchment and goes cold and orange on bright white.
