Review: Resketch Notebooks and Stationery

I recently received an assortment of samples from Resketch, a Phoenix, Arizona based brand that makes notebooks and other stationery products out of 100% reclaimed paper. I’ll just cut to the chase and say that I love this concept and the products they sent me. The design looks great, and they offer a nice variety … Continue reading Review: Resketch Notebooks and Stationery

Notebook Review: Fabriano Ecoqua Plus Softcover

In all the years I’ve been blogging, I don’t think I’ve ever reviewed a Fabriano notebook. This seems like a strange omission, as I am pretty sure I’ve bought Fabriano notebooks before, but as far as I can tell, the only one currently in my possession is this Ecoqua Plus softcover notebook, purchased quite recently. … Continue reading Notebook Review: Fabriano Ecoqua Plus Softcover

Papersmiths Notebook Review

Papersmiths is a stationery shop with branches in London and Brighton, UK, and online. I have been following them online for a while, and actually ordered some Bindewerk notebooks from them a few years ago, when I was having trouble finding them in the US. It was lovely to hear from the team at Papersmiths … Continue reading Papersmiths Notebook Review

Louise Carmen Notebook Review Part 1

I’m always a sucker for a nice leather notebook— there is something so seductive about the patina on well-broken in leather, and the way it starts to form to the shape of its contents. It’s what made me love the Filofax notebooks I’ve used in the past, and it’s what made me buy a passport … Continue reading Louise Carmen Notebook Review Part 1

Weird, Ugly Moleskine Planner

I was browsing eBay recently and came across a very odd Moleskine planner. I searched for it on Moleskine’s own site but found nothing. The only other listing I found was at Target: Digging still further, I found another Target listing for a beige version, which was also listed on the website of Sandman Books. … Continue reading Weird, Ugly Moleskine Planner

Plotter Notebook Mini Size Now Available in the USA

A few months ago, I wrote about the launch of Plotter USA, but lamented that they were only selling larger sizes, not including the 6-ring “Mini” pocket size they sell in Japan. Happily, they are now introducing the Mini size Plotter notebook for the US market. And even more happily, I received a free sample … Continue reading Plotter Notebook Mini Size Now Available in the USA

Undated Nolty Daily Book

I love it when my wishes come true! I was thrilled when the Nolty Daily Book was announced for 2020 to celebrate their 70th anniversary but then crushed when they decided not to add it to their regular line-up. But thanks to Instagram, I recently spotted a sneaky late addition to their new products: an … Continue reading Undated Nolty Daily Book

Plotter USA Launch

Plotter is an intriguing Japanese planner system I’ve been salivating over since at least 2018– apparently without ever having actually written a blog post about it! I was always frustrated that I couldn’t figure out how to order one of these notebooks for US delivery, so I was thrilled to see that the brand is … Continue reading Plotter USA Launch
