I designed this journal with all of our traditional NC southern foods in mind. We all know them, we all love them, we just can't get enough of southern cooking! I drew this design digitally and worked side by side with my brother at Statedwoods Co in West End, NC to laser engrave my design into the leather. This journal is made from a durable redwood bark waxed cowhide leather that has a flexible temperment but stiff enough to be substantial for decades to come.

Engraved message on the inside front panel of the journal: 
 
"Here in North Carolina, we believe in treating everyone with kindness and respect, making sure that no one ever feels like a stranger. With hearts full of hospitality and hands eager to help one another, we make every stranger feel like family and every moment feel like home. It’s as if our spirit comes from our beautiful land, from the Blue Ridge Mountains, all the way to the beaches of the Outer Banks. We take pride in knowing that we will always be good neighbors, will bless your heart, pour you a glass of sweet tea, never be late for supper and always have butter on the table."
