āØĀ Holiday 2025 UpdateĀ āØ
Hi friends,
Red Barn Collections has come full circle. I first began making book journals in Vermont more than a decade ago, then spent 10 wonderful years in Salt Lake City and at markets across the West. In May 2025, I returned to Vermont to continue the work where it all began ā now from a little barn studio tucked in the mountains.
The heart of this business has always been the same: turning once-loved books into meaningful, one-of-a-kind journals.
I have more book titles waiting to be listed than I can keep up with, so donāt wait to see everything online. Please reach out if youāre looking for something special ā Iād love to help you find the perfect gift for friends, family, co-workers, weddings, baby showers, or any occasion.
My most asked requested service is back: Mail YOUR OWN BOOK and have it transformed into a thoughtful keepsake journal.
Thank you for being part of this journey ā from Vermont, to Salt Lake, and back again. Your support has carried Red Barn Collections through every chapter, and Iām so grateful to keep creating for you.
Write on,
Brooke
