The blogger at Dig Under Rocks recently attended the Renegade Craft Fair in Los Angeles. She found a few vendors of interesting paper products including these notebooks: Next I came upon a shop, Tyler Bender Book Co., with a really unique and interesting idea.. Vintage and recycled notebooks. Covers were made from old t-shirts, cereal … Continue reading Renegade Craft Fair Finds
I was very interested in this notebook review at Future; Nostalgic: Review: Asda Executive Notebook. I love the way this notebook has 3 sections in the back pocket! And the prices seem great too. Drawbacks: there is no pocket size version, and it’s only sold at Asda in the U.K.
All the pen and paper blogs seem to have been buzzing for months about the Rhodia Webnotebook. Fountain pen users in particular were eager to have a Moleskine alternative containing their beloved Clairefontaine paper. When these first hit the market, you could only get a version with 80g paper. Now, finally, the long-awaited 90g paper … Continue reading Review: Rhodia Webnotebook

I’ve been intrigued by the Leuchtturm brand of notebooks ever since spotting them online, I forget where. As of a few months ago, they didn’t have a US distributor, but they are now working with Kikkerland, and their products are starting to show up at retailers, including Journaling Arts. All products listed here.
Try saying “Folio Portfolio” several times as fast as you can– whew! But maybe it’s easier than “Folio Memo Pockets.” Anyway, as promised, here’s a look at the other Moleskine Folio item I recently purchased, the jumbo version of the Memo Pockets: the Moleskine that’s all pockets, no pages. If you love the look and … Continue reading A4 Size Moleskine Folio Portfolio
Here’s something that must have slipped past me– Moleskine has added to their line of red cover notebooks. You can now get the heavier paper Sketchbook in both the pocket and large size with a red cover. Great news for artists who were tired of basic black!
Journaling Arts seems to be one of the first sites stocking the new 12-color box set Moleskine Diary, one of the new Moleskine products introduced this year. I saw these displayed at the Book Expo show a few weeks ago, and it looks like a really nice product. I love the chunky binder, the 12 … Continue reading Moleskine Color-a-Month Planner Set
So the first question about the new Moleskine Folio sketchbook is “HOW BIG IS IT?” Is it this big? Is it this big? Is it this big? Well, when you stop having fun with perspective, it’s really this big: I had seen the measurements before I ordered it– 11 3/4 x 16 1/2″– but still, … Continue reading Moleskine Folio Sketchbook Review
