Remember this Notebook Addict post about Carmen, who sent me a fabulous selection of European notebooks? I named her Notebook Addict of the Year back in April, a noble distinction that must now be reaffirmed based on this photo of her collection: Here’s what Carmen has to say about that gorgeous tower: Here is my … Continue reading Notebook Addict of the Year: Carmen (Again)
The nice folks at Daycraft recently sent me some more samples of new products from their latest catalog. (See here for my previous Daycraft review.)Â As usual, the designs are colorful and unusual– nothing plain and boring here! I think my favorite is the violin camouflage pattern. I’m not doing a full review this time, … Continue reading Giveaway: New Products from Daycraft

g_m_a_x has some drool-worthy Filofax photos on his Flickr photostream, including this one, which is by no means his full collection: Looking at the photos almost gives me the shivers– the Filofaxes have obviously been collected over the years, from back when they were made with much higher-end materials. So many gorgeous leathers, so deliciously … Continue reading Notebook Addict of the Week: g_m_a_x

The Blackwell notebook is an interesting “mole-clone” that has a bit more branding than most, but in an unobtrusive way that I rather like. Below you see the Blackwell notebook next to a Piccadilly notebook– in the front view, it’s almost impossible to tell the difference. (The Blackwell is on the left.) In this photo … Continue reading Review: Blackwell Notebook
Jesse Draxler’s website has lots of fabulous photos of collage art in notebooks (Moleskine sketchbooks, I think). Absolutely gorgeous: I found Jesse via a blog called The Jealous Curator, who says “These simple/fantastic collages are a few of my favourite pages. I think it’s the effortlessness that gets me the most. Yep, there’s that soul-crushing … Continue reading Jesse Draxler’s Sketchbooks
