Thomas Paul has become a Tracery Shop staple in the last few years. We always have several of his quirky accent pillows on hand and have recently re-upholstered a vintage chair in his fabric as well, which you saw [here]. Now everyone can have a bit of his fabulous fabric design…no matter the location! We are excited to now carry the Thomas Paul fabric covered journals in 4 beautiful prints: [L to R above] Flock, Blossom, Zinnia & Palm. Each journal measures 6″wide and 8 1/2″long. All pages are lined.
To enter our giveaway you must comment on this post between today & Sunday, March 28 at 7pm. What would you do with your journal? Give it as a gift? Use it as a guest book? Keep it full of life’s secrets….let us know! We will be choosing TWO winners, so be sure to leave us your email address and we will contact you for pattern preference. Bess will be announcing the winner on Tuesday. Good Luck!

I love tracery interiors blog and read it daily, I wish I could afford for the designers to decorate my home. I love this journal and so would my 9 year old daughter, she loves to journal about her day at night right before bed. This would be the perfect easter gift for her and I know she would be way too excited to receive it. What a great give-away!
Please keep blogging, I would be lost without the decorating inspiration!
Have a great day!

Comment by Lori H. March 24, 2010 @ 6:34 amI love these. As a commercial furnishings dealer, we work closely with designers on a regular basis and they always love these. They are a great tool for taking notes on their projects. They are a perfect gift!

Thanks, and nice post
I would love to use one as a journal. I used to write every day but it got lost in 3 small kids growing up. I think I would be inspired to start again with such a beautiful cover. My all time favorite gift as a child came from my aunt and it was a large box full of different types of paper. There are always such possibilities w/beautiful journals!

Comment by Cathy Harvill March 24, 2010 @ 9:55 amOooh I love these!! – especially the blue one. I think I’d have to give it as a gift to my journal-writing best friend for her upcoming birthday! Great giveaway!
Comment by Leila March 24, 2010 @ 10:29 amlove these! i would use the journal as my cool real estate work “to-do” list, as opposed to an old, ugly yellow pad!

Comment by sarah jones March 24, 2010 @ 11:02 amI hope that all of you know how much I enjoy Tracery’s blog — it’s just informative, refreshing, and entertaining every day!!
Comment by FDavis March 24, 2010 @ 11:09 amI love these journals!! I would definitely give it as a graduation gift.
Daily beauty is always awaiting my anxious eye here on your fun blog! I’d use the Thomas Paul Jounal to record my log of one thousand gifts. I was inspired by of all things- a Canadian farmer’s wife. Ann Voskamp prompted me to start jotting down daily, not the gifts I wanted, but instead the gifts I have. One by one little encouragements that speak to me…a great blog entry…a beautiful fabric…a sweet moment with my child…warm sun on a cool day. Sort of like a smaller version of an inspiration board that includes all of life’s little moments.
Comment by Holly March 24, 2010 @ 11:30 amThese are so pretty! I would carry it around with me daily and keep track of my to do and shopping lists. It would be much more fun this way!
Comment by marissa March 24, 2010 @ 12:05 pmI would use this journal covered in the beautiful fabric by Thomas Paul as an accompaniment to my daily Bible reading. In it I would record favorite verses, personal prayers and thoughts of praise> What a delight to look at this cover and know inside is my heart felt thoughts.
Comment by Carole Carroll March 24, 2010 @ 12:39 pmI hate to say it, but this is the sort of thing I’d love, but would never buy for myself…there’s always some big project that over rides small, fun purchases like this.
I think I’d keep it in my bag for blog ideas.
Comment by Jeannine @ Small & Chic March 24, 2010 @ 12:48 pmI would turn it into a travel book and keep brochures and pictures of the places my husband and I travel with our two boys. It would be a reminder of the places we have been. A hard copy.
Comment by Taryn March 24, 2010 @ 12:52 pmOh yay! My husband travels and I thought a journal would be perfect for him to write all of his experiences. Unfortunately I couldn’t find a good one and avoided the gift entirely. Thank you for the post!

Queen Bedroom Sets
I would use it as a guest book… great idea!
Comment by Kelly Anderson March 24, 2010 @ 1:17 pmI would use the book in my kitchen…i have tons of recipes that are on: note cards, voided checks, church announcements or reciepts.
Comment by emily massey March 24, 2010 @ 1:17 pmpick me, pick me!!
Comment by allison pixley March 24, 2010 @ 1:43 pmLove to place this journal in my sunroom on my new desk – ready to record thoughts, favorite quotes and bible verses.
I would use this journal to keep my collection of smiley faces and other doodlings. I doodle. I’m a doodler. And, as of present, my doodles and vast stores of smiley face drawings tend to run amok across any paper product – be it napkins, credit card bills, or left over bits of copier paper. It would be nice to finally have a central location with which to compile them all…
Comment by Chad Moore March 24, 2010 @ 1:54 pmThese are beautiful. I love to go to starbucks on my day off and just write what comes to mind. These would be perfect
Comment by Ashley March 24, 2010 @ 2:02 pmLove these. I would keep it in my purse to keep up with everything- lists, to-dos, paint swatches, etc. I have a notebook now that is almost full so this would be perfect!
Comment by Brooke @ Blueprint Bliss March 24, 2010 @ 2:27 pmI would love to use it as our guest book in our beach pad. Of course I would ask Tracery Interiors to inscribe it! xoxo
Comment by seleta March 24, 2010 @ 4:29 pmI would probably give it my very creative niece…oh who am I kidding? I would keep it!
Comment by Marianne March 24, 2010 @ 8:05 pmThese are beautiful! Although they would make great little books for design notes, I would probably use it for sermon notes
Comment by Emily A. Clark March 24, 2010 @ 9:24 pmI’d use one of these cuties to take work/design related notes. What a cute place to hold some important thoughts/ideas!
Comment by Claire March 24, 2010 @ 10:33 pmI tell everyone about this blog, BRILLIANT! Even my designer friends, who are impressed I know something they don’t
Great job!
Comment by Kelly Robinson March 24, 2010 @ 10:43 pmI would use this journal to help me stay on track with my resolution to eat, cook and exercise better. The covers have such lively and energetic patterns, a perfect pick me up when I’m not always feeling so inspired. Great job on your blog!
Comment by Jeanne March 24, 2010 @ 10:59 pmI would use it to write my to do list to make tasks just a bit more fun!
Comment by meaghan March 25, 2010 @ 9:25 amI am from the US but live in Spain…I think I would use this journal as a guest book for everyone who comes to visit us to sign. Love your blog!
Comment by Morgan March 25, 2010 @ 10:13 amThese are so pretty! I would love to carry this around in my purse for jotting down notes and inspiration ideas!
Comment by Mrs. F March 25, 2010 @ 10:25 amLove these journals – that patterns are so bright and fun!
Comment by Megan March 25, 2010 @ 10:25 amThese are beautiful! I would use it as a gratitude journal. Each day I write at least one thing that I am grateful for.
Comment by Vanessa March 25, 2010 @ 10:58 amWould throw away all the sticky notes plastered inside my planner of things to do and write it all in one of these lovely journals!
Comment by botanical brouhaha March 25, 2010 @ 2:35 pmI love his fun and bright fabrics and I love journaling, so I would use this pretty much daily!
Comment by bek March 25, 2010 @ 5:09 pmMmm… love these. I’ve got babies on the brain lately and have been making all sort of lists and sketches. Advice to remember, nursery ideas, and notes from friends – this would be such a pretty place to store it all.
Comment by carolinapostcard March 25, 2010 @ 8:44 pmThose are such lovely journals! I would give one to my sister and for myself, I would journal in family milestones, celebration, important moments, and recipes.
Comment by susan k March 26, 2010 @ 12:37 pmThese look great!! Hmmm…. I would probably use it to write down resources, notes for when I look through magazines or blogs. I’ve started to do that recently and I have xerox pages FULL of new sources. It’s amazing! So ofcourse I’d love to have it compiled in a stylish journal.

These are beautiful! LOVE! I would have to say keep it for myself…it would be a wonderful gift as well. I would use it for design notes and inspirations, or a journal. Great giveaway!!!!
Comment by dani March 27, 2010 @ 9:55 amLove these! I would use it for my daily to-do lists. I always use nice journals to encourage me to actually use them.
Comment by Jessica March 27, 2010 @ 4:37 pmI love to journal myself, but would have to give this one to my sweet niece for her birthday!
Comment by shannon copeland March 27, 2010 @ 8:16 pmI am always looking for great journals to use at work. Who wants a boring yellow pad, when you can use something like this!
Comment by Stephanie March 28, 2010 @ 3:57 pmI have been on what I call a ‘journal journey’ for the last several years. I am very particular about my journal, as each one depicts a different part of my story. Every new season of my life seems to be embodied in corresponding journal that tells my story. For example, when I was hearing deep inside the Lord speaking to me about how He is the one putting all of the pieces of my life together, I came across a journal covered in a tapestry print fabric, It became known as my ‘tapestry’ journal and was entitled, ‘Putting the Pieces together’. I have many similar stories. My journals are important to me because they are my closet companions through all the details of life, each one not only helps to collect my thoughts, but also helps redistribute them accordingly. The story of my life is found within their pages, thus my journal journey!
