Nestled in a secluded part of the Lincolnshire valley, Easton Walled Gardens in Grantham offers a pause from the pace of life, where renewal comes naturally.
From snowdrop season in February when flowers carpet the ground, to blossom time in May when the trees are awash with colour and their famed Sweetpea summers, Easton Walled Gardens’ seasonal highlights offer endless inspiration.
Their Stationery shop, 'Griffin of Easton', offers a wide range of beautiful books and fine stationery, the store is a sanctuary for both book and stationery enthusiasts. The shop showcases a collection of lifestyle and gardening books, complemented by a selection of exquisite stationery items.
We collaborated with Easton Walled Gardens to curate an exclusive range of notebooks, available in five bespoke colourways. The Griffin Handmade Notebook is beautifully English, and handcrafted in our bindery. The five colours are available in the Griffin of Easton signature shades and hand embossed with the Griffin logo.
The paper used within the notebooks is milled in Cumbria and has been made exclusively for us, the paper performs brilliantly when using a fountain pen, with little dragging and ink bleeding. It is a smooth, reasonably opaque sheet allowing very little show-through, and it will take a wide variety of ink pens as well as pencil.
The Griffin Handmade Notebook range all come with bespoke ‘Griffin of Easton’ bellybands as well as beautiful endpapers to complement the products.
Hugo Spiegl of The Stamford Notebook Company comments “We are delighted to be collaborating with Easton Walled Gardens to create an exclusive range of stationery for their new stationery and bookstore: Griffin of Easton. Meeting with the team at Easton we discussed specific requirements for the notebooks, sketch and lifestyle books, working with a variety of materials and colourways allowing them to align the stationery to their colours being promoted within Griffin of Easton. Complete with bespoke handmade Griffin packaging the collection evokes a sense of elegance and style befitting of the beautiful surroundings of Easton Walled Gardens.”
Garden owner Ursula Cholmeley, who has a love for both gardening and written word, states that Easton Walled Gardens dates back at least 450 years and the skillset required back then is the same as we use today, so it only seemed fitting to team up with a local company that also has heritage skills built in to everything they do. She went on to say that they use notebooks to “record seasons in the gardens and to keep a record of posterity of the interesting and timeless work that we do to create a beautiful garden”.
"Thank you to the wonderful team @stamfordnotebooks who pulled out all the stops to get these beautiful notebooks ready for our opening."
The cloth covered notebooks are available in three shades Cherry Red, Navy and Teal, as well as Rich Brown or Dark Green for the Mock Croc Notebooks only. All notebooks come with 140 lined British made pages. The FSC™ cotton fabric and backing paper are derived from sustainable sources. High-quality cotton and cellulose threads are used, which are 100% grown and cultivated in Europe.
