Beautiful work!
I have purchased several things from Tactile Craftworks. Each handmade item is crafted from the highest quality leather and is beautifully finished. It makes a gift I am proud to give!

My Kinda Town, Chicago is AND My Kinda Journal, too
My Chicago Map Journal is just right in so many ways! A beautiful leather cover with a legible and useful map of Chicago combined with a Moleskine journal, what could be better? I love the feeling of this notebook in my hands and love writing down all the fun things I am going to do in Chicago when I can!
