Czech diaries 2011 released

2010-10-15T23:04:00.000-07:00

This blog or let's say announcement is addressed mainly to my czech customers, but in case you like czech language you might also like these daily and weekly diaries for the next year.

Nový rok je přece jen ještě daleko, přesto možná už přemýšlíte o novém diáři.

Již nyní můžete v mém obchůdku objednávat diáře na příští rok.

Vybírat lze ze dvou typů šablon a to:

diáře denní

- každý den ja na zvláštní stránce, soboty a neděle pak na stránce společné

diáře týdenní

- týden je rozdělen na dvě stránky - vlevo pondělí-středa, vpravo čtvrtek-neděle

Oba typy diářů jsou tištěny pěkně v teple domova podle mého vlastního návrhu a jsou samozřejmě včetně svátků a několika volných stran na poznámky na konci diáře.

Barvu listů lze zvolit slonovinovou, světle modrou, světle zelenou nebo růžovou.

Desky je možné zhotovit dle vašich představ, cena se pak odvíjí od použitého materiálu a náročnosti zpracování.
Základní cena týdenních diářů je 240,- Kč, denních diářů 300,- Kč.

Protože jsou diáře poněkud sezónním artiklem, budu je vyrábět přednostně dle vašich poptávek a požadavků, volné diáře budou spíše výjimkou.

V případě zájmu mě kontaktujte emailem.

When the "message" meets the "addressee"

2010-09-26T17:08:00.000-07:00

Yesterday a young man came to my stall at Oxford Castle Market, and bought this journal.
I created it couple of months ago. On the front there is a dried Primula veris flower and a poem about this flower in Czech language. The flower, in Czech called "Petrklíč" what means "The Key of St. Peter", the Key that opens the Gate of Spring and blesses the Summer.

The poem says:

Květ nejkrásnější
se k zemi sklání

líbezná píseň
dítek poutníků

Země zrodila
léta požehnání

The words of the poem where indivudially selected and cut out from sheets of an old family Bible which was almost destroyed when I found it in an old box.
The young man asked me to translate the poem so I tried to do so and sent him the translation via email:

The beautiful flower

bends to the ground

like a sweet song
of children of pilgrims

The Earth's given birth
to the Blessing of summer

I also told him the story how the journal was created and he sent me this beautiful email:

"Thank you for translating your beautiful poem for me and creating such an amazing and historic journal. I bought the journal to send to my girlfriend. She is always writing down her thoughts and interesting quotes that she comes across.
The story of your journal, even empty and without words inside of it, has been a blessing to both of us. I hope that she is able to fill it with dreams, prayers, quotes and poetry."

I was very pleased with his email. I believe that each one of my journals is made special for one specific person and it is with great pleasure for me to see when the journal meet his "owner".

Traveling diary

2010-05-20T06:45:00.000-07:00

Today I got an idea - I will create a special diary or if you want - a journal - and will send it around the world so everyone can write something in it - greetings, wishes, something about his or her country - and then pass it on.

So I created Robin, which is my favourite name for a journal. I always give names to my journal. Now I will seek the first person who will receive Robin and starts it's journey.

Follow Robin's Facebook page where everyone who finds him can post pictures and comments where Robin is at the particular moment.
