Eric and Eloise
Written and illustrated by Jessica Hiemstra, Eric and Eloise is the beloved story about an unlikely friendship between a hare named Eric and a fox named Eloise. It is the first book in the Eric and Eloise children’s book series, followed by the sequels While the Forest is Sleeping, and Charlie in Spring. This book is the inspiration for the Eric and Eloise Collection.
Handmade and screen printed in Nepal, the materials for the paper are sustainably harvested from the lokta plant which grows in the foothills of the Himalayas. The book is 9” x 12” and hardcover.

Inspired by the folktales of Scandinavia and her own childhood in the forests of Canada, Jessica wrote a little story about an unlikely friendship between a hare and a fox for Accent Decor. The story is bound in a beautiful handmade book. Writing this little tale was the start of a marvellous collaboration - between women making paper in Nepal, master mold-makers in China and Sarah Bagle, Accent Decor's creative director.
Accent Decor also brought Eric and Eloise to life with an enchanting collection of accessories: everything from delicate, gold-embossed bisque-ware to knit ornaments and votive candleholders. The unlikely duo of Eric and Eloise now grace plates, pots, gift wrap and more, accompanied by their misfit Framily.
