Exciting times here at Notebook Stories headquarters… as I’ve mentioned in passing in a few posts, most of my notebook collection has been sitting in a storage unit for almost 2 years. It’s been quite frustrating to have all these notebooks in storage and not to be able to access them for blog posts and general fondling. But finally, after various moves and reorganizations and lots of schlepping, I’m almost ready to bring all these home:

Yes, 6 big boxes of notebooks sitting in a storage unit. Inside, there are 17 shoeboxes full of pocket size notebooks, plus various other larger notebooks.

You might think this would mean that there aren’t many notebooks close at hand in my home… well, not too many…

These are the boxes of to-be-reviewed notebooks, recently-reviewed notebooks, and other recently purchased notebooks:

These are the Moleskine City notebooks, plus a few facsimile notebook art books, tucked behind some cool little art inspiration books.

These are all the completed journals and sketchbooks from recent years:

These are the current daily carry notebooks, plus a few others that have been living on my desk. (And some fountain pens.)

And there are some larger sketch pads and watercolor papers hanging around… underneath a pile of books about notebooks (and facsimile notebooks)!

And there are more books about notebooks on the next shelf up.

This is most of the collection, but there are a few other things scattered around the house that I’ve missed. And probably a couple more waiting in my post office box… It’s a constant battle…

I’m always interested to see other people’s notebook collections. Where do you keep them? What do you store them in? How do you keep them under control? If you want to share your own photos, email them to me at nifty [at] notebookstories [dot com].
