Celtic Knot Journal

Celtic Knot Journal

I have always been drawn to Celtic designs and have wondered if it is due to part of my heritage being Irish. I have a special niece who is a collector of Celtic knots, any shape size or kind. I think she will love adding this journal made with the wonderful Rinea® metal to her collection.
