Madeline “Boohoo, We Want Our Appendix Out Too” Upcycled Notebook

This notebook began as a well-loved Madeline book, the iconic scene with all twelve little girls tucked in bed, crying, “Boohoo, we all want to have our appendix out too.” Now it has a second life. I kept the original vintage cover, added crisp blank pages, and left a bit of the gentle wear that proves it survived plenty of story times before landing on your desk.

Sturdy, lightweight, and ready for lists, sketches, rants, recipes, travel notes, or whatever bright idea needs a landing spot. It slips easily into a bag and holds up to real life, which feels very in keeping with Miss Clavel’s no-nonsense style.

Perfect for Madeline fans, vintage book lovers, teachers, writers, artists, and anyone who likes their stationery with a little classic storybook charm. Handmade in my coastal New England workshop using rescued materials, so every notebook is one of a kind.

A nostalgic, eco-minded notebook that adds a dash of Parisian whimsy to your day.
