There is a quiet elegance to this Storyteller — a sense of light, grace, and timeless beauty.
Bound into supple ivory natural leather, Alabaster Storyteller Journal is filled with an exquisite collection of handmade papers in soft whites and warm ivories, gently accented with touches of gold. Each page offers its own texture and presence — from richly tactile Indian cotton rag to exquisitely embossed mulberry papers.
This is a book that invites you to honor what matters — to write, to preserve, and to hold life’s most meaningful moments in a place of beauty.
A favorite as a wedding album, keepsake, or guest book, Alabaster lends itself beautifully to the preserving of vows, memories, photographs, and moments that deserve a place of honor. It is equally at home as a personal journal — a space for quiet thoughts, meaningful words, and the unfolding of a life well lived.
As with all Hypatia Storytellers, each page is chosen with intention, and each book is made entirely by hand — created to be both beautiful and enduring.

The Morning Whisper Storyteller Journal is filled with an array of exquisite papers, including a white embossed mulberry paper, Hahnemühle Bugra, handmade hemp, khadi cotton rag, and Nepalese lokta paper.
Lokta paper from Nepal is one of the primary papers used in Hypatia Storytellers. Lokta is produced using bark from the daphne shrub, a cousin to the laurel and the rhododendron. Lokta is very eco-friendly, as the plant regenerates quickly and is one of the few under-utilized plant resources in the world.
Each lokta sheet is made by hand and celebrates its “wabi sabi” beauty. Delightful to write, paint and glue on, it is incredibly strong and flexible.
All of the handmade pages of the Hypatia Storytellers can also be used, in addition to the archival plain page soft white paper in between each decorative sheet!
An elegant ivory white, soft as a glove, with a slight pebble grain and natural look. Beautiful full grain cowhide.
Natural leather develops a rich patina over time and may darken, soften, and develop color variations.
Each scratch, scuff, and crease tells a story, adding depth and personality to the leather’s surface.
When desired or needed, “Leather CPR” (easily purchased through Amazon) can be massaged into the leather to restore its moisture and erase scratches.
