Eureka Chinatown 1884 Notebook

This notebook beautifully displays a complex history. On side shows the proposed monument commemorating the 1885 expulsion of the Chinese from Eureka, California. The other side shows advertisements for the Chinese businesses that were thriving a year before the expulsion. The notebook itself can be a tool for excavating hidden histories. The advertisements tell a powerful story. Some of them are a bit hard to read, but that's because they come from 1884 sources.

Zazzle has impressed us with providing us with exactly what we wanted & it’s so adorable. My daughter can pass this down to her daughter one day in her box of baby trinkets. 🩷🩷🩷. Printing is exactly as ordered! Each font, word, and color we chose is on point.

This is such a fun notebook. When using it, if I find the need to ground myself or am searching for inspiration as to what to write, I can reference the root chakra or throat chakra (respectively) illustrations for sample exercises to access those energies. I plan to gift one of these notebooks to my favorite yoga teacher in gratitude for her beautiful spirit and practices. I love how durable the softcover journals are. There's no concern that the cover will break off from the binding. I also love that Zazzle allows for certain customizations, such as changing the color of the spiral or the paper inside the notebook. I'm a big fan of the sketch paper because it allows for writing and doodling but appreciate that I can get college or wide ruled paper instead, depending on the purpose for which I'm using the notebook.
