Really loving this beautiful journal. I’ve been using mine to review books of the Bible as I read them - love it! Xx
So beautiful! I CAN'T! 😭❤️
I absolutely LOVE the journal. It’s exactly what I wanted, something more grand than a normal boring journal and something that I could proudly put onto my bookshelf. Will definitely be buying more products in the future ❤️
I have been buying these over the past few weeks absolutely LOVE all of Quirky Cup Collective styles ... I will have to collect them all eventually lol
It's really beautiful and great quality, I love the illustration on the front, completely obsessed
I love this book! 🤩 🤩 🤩
This is such a gorgeous princessy journal. I was so excited to own this journal and write down all my adventures… until after one week of using, I began to notice these random scratches on the front and back. Now I don’t even want to continue writing in it anymore since I’m afraid everything will scratch off and turn ugly, but I have a feeling once I store it away with my finished journals, that all the pretty colours and designs will scratch off by itself anyway. It’s a great journal but just keep in mind it will definitely scratch off. I never had this problem with their purple journal though, so I don’t understand why a newer journal they’ve released is poor quality. I’m so disappointed and upset. I wouldn’t recommend buying this if you don’t want the cover to turn ugly.
Me encanta!!
Looove this !! I got the pen too to match the journal and it’s soo pretty! No regrets. I think this is the best dotted paper I’ve come across, not too far apart nor too tight, and the paper quality is good. I’ve ordered two journals from this shop in the past and the paper is toppp. I tried the pen and it writes really good, the ink works great. That’s without mentioning how utterly STUNNING the pen looks, of course. This is currently the shop with the most stunning and beautiful and unique journals and it takes such an important part of my writing experience. It’s an amazing design with such cute red edges and I will have the best hot girl time writing in this 🩷
When I got this journal, it took my breath away it was so beautiful. But after two weeks it looks awful. I am so disappointed! I haven’t been carrying it anywhere. I just keep it on my desk - opening and closing to write in it daily. The foil runs off just from me opening and closing it with my hand daily. I probably won’t even keep using it because it looks so icky and disappoints me! Shame because the paper is perfect and the design is gorgeous. Sad.
Paper quality is great and seems well constructed but I've been using this for a week and the gilt is already coming off. This is supposed to be a journal for daily use so it's going to look like absolute trash but the end of the year. This just goes from my book shelf to my writing desk, it's not even being carried around in a bag or anything. Pretty disappointing as I really love that this is an Australian company and just wish the quality was better.
This is my second notebook from Quirky and I LOVE LOVE LOVE it. The paper is so butter smooth, the cover is beautifully crafted and designed, and the color combinations and detail are simply the best
Whenever I order from TQCC, I know that I'm going to get the most beautiful product, made in the most amazing quality! I'm never shocked, because the continuity of the products are just too good. Yet another product that I am fully obsessed with! 😍
Really beautiful journal. High quality and well made. The pages are smooth and perfect for writing (I got the lined journal pages). The journal is exactly as described and pictured in the item listing.
Firstly, I want to say that I do love this journal. When I saw it, the vibe just screamed princess. I've had it for a while, but I never noticed the pretty design was rubbing off. I don't know when it happened or how, but I'm still really bummed. It's wonderful otherwise, just keep in mind this can happen.
The journal is gorgeous, it’s giving Belle vibes 😍. The quality is amazing and checks all the boxes for what I wanted in a dotted journal. There is plenty of space for creativity. I use dotted journals to make my own book journal. This will be a gorgeous addition to my bookshelf once it is completed. 🫶🏻
LOVE the cover Just wish it had more pages and an elastic to close, rest it’s perfect. Would order every year
I love it so much. I’ve been wanting to scrapbook/journal for a while now, so I’m very excited to get started with my new journal!
I’m obsessed!! absolutely gorgeous and I can’t wait to put this journal to use😆🩷
I love love the journal! It's the first time I've had such a beautiful journal and I'm so glad I decided to purchase it. The paper is thick which I love and the journal itself looks like it brought me back in time but at the same time being so much in the present.
The Lust and Longing journal is absolutely gorgeous! (and a lot girthier than I was expecting😏) It took an incredible amount of restraint on my part not to add this entire collection to my cart, but I am OB-SESSED with what I got, and I will absolutely be coming back for more!!
SUCH a cute journal, i LOVE
this journal is beautiful beyond belief. i collect journals and knew i had to have this one instantly, i'm so pleased with everything from how it looks to how quick the shipping was!
Really happy with everything, made the perfect gift
It is so cute and adorable I can’t wait to use it as a planner for college!! 💕✨💕
Not my first time buying from Quirky Cup, and definitely won't be my last. Each new release is as amazing as the last, and makes perfect gifts for all types of readers!
This is the third time that I buy products from the Quirky Cup Collective, and I love everything that I bought <3
Stunning
I bought a lined notebook and it's every bit as stunning as I thought it'd be. Such a beautiful design in gorgeous colours, and the gilding is darling.
Bought two journals this time - love them. The paper is thick and great quality and they are so pretty. Planning my next order already!
I absolutely love this journal! It is perfect and so beautiful. I have a lot of journals and this is by far the prettiest and most fancy one I have. It has great quality and I will definitely be ordering from them again!
Wonderfuly beautiful
What a beautiful book! It's finished to a high standard, with quality, thick, fp-friendly paper. The cover design is gorgeous without veering into fussiness, and the foiled edges add that touch of luxury. This won't be my last purchase from Quirky Cup.
In love! Cannot wait to purchase the Book Journal! Amazing quality and timely delivery! It so pretty im scared to do anything with it!
It’s my first time ordering and I’m so happy with my order. The journals are so well made and beautiful, that I really enjoy them. I was searching so long for something like this and I’m beyond happy to finally be able to use it everyday.
Its so beautiful, i wish the pages were thicker but i love it! The perfect book for my poetry!
Exactly what I needed to make 2026 start in style! <3 Treat carefully as I take it everywhere and I have started to notice some of the front cover is rubbing off, still looks brilliant though!
The product is great but I wish the website would mention at some point that if you order from the EU you have to pay additional taxes on top of the taxes and shipping you‘ve already paid. I think that makes the price way too high. The notebook is beautiful but I have to say: If I‘d known from the beginning I‘d be paying 20€ on top I wouldn’t have bought it.
