"After a period of gloom and negative thoughts, I was instructed by my therapist to keep a 'White Book', a book in which to write down all the positive things of the day. And preferably also in a nice book that you feel comfortable picking up. I received this Baleen book from a loved one, a handmade notebook where love and attention has been put into it. The love I feel on receiving this booklet can now carry through into the love for myself. It is a small handy book (a6), so I can take this with me anywhere i go and write in it at any time of the day. Thank you Atelier de la Baleine for this beautiful handmade booklet!"

Vlinderboek from Ineke

"Tears welled up in my eyes. For the loss of my husband, I have cried a lot but these tears were happy, comforting tears!
From the fabric of a funny favourite party pant of Bob, my husband, I had cut a piece of the legs, enough for the size of an A6 book.
A little book that I will carry with me every day, wherever I go. That little book will give me comfort and courage on those days when I just don't know how to get through.
I will also put words from Bob in it. Words also from us together. From friends, girlfriends, known and unknown people, but always completely real and all for me!
Thanks Atelier de la Baleine. Thanks because this is a secret treasure that I now carry with me.
Ineke"

"My old jacket that I used to wear at my former work has now undergone a wonderful transformation. Paula turned it into a sketchbook and now it fits the new direction.
The pouch that went with it, which used to hold my phone, now serves for pencils and things I find when I go outside to draw.
I am so happy with the book that moves with me from old to new!"
