handmade journals

Welcome.

This space is an extension of This Village Girl — a place where slow living, healing, creativity, and reflection meet.

The handmade journals, notepads, bookmarks, planners, stickers, greeting cards, tote bags, stationery supplies, printables, mini booklets, and mindful creations you see here are part of my creative practice and are sold through my Etsy shop, Bloom by Heart.

Think of it this way:

Bloom by Heart is my creative studio — where those reflections turn into tangible tools you can use in your own journey.

This Village Girl is my personal blog — where I write, reflect, and share stories.

About the Shop

Bloom by Heart was created as a gentle, intentional space for journaling, self-reflection, and inner work.

Each product is designed slowly and thoughtfully — inspired by lived experience, healing seasons, and the belief that growth doesn’t have to be loud to be powerful.

Most of the pieces you’ll find here were born from words first written on this blog and mostly, those I failed to find and could only resort to art to find release.

Browse my favorite creations below, or click any image to shop directly on Etsy. Whether you’re looking for a thoughtful gift or a mindful tool for yourself, there’s something to bring gentle inspiration to every day.

Thank you for being here, for reading, and for choosing to create space for yourself.
