When I placed this year’s Nolty order from Japan, I decided to throw in one of their Pagem planners.

I just spotted a listing on Amazon.com for the model 3121 that I use, the 95 x 145mm size, with a gorgeous leather cover. The price I am seeing … Continue reading 2024 Nolty Gold Planner, Low Price and Free Shipping!
I first heard about the Daler Rowney Pocket Sketchbook on an art supply website somewhere– unfortunately I’ve lost the link, but it was a glowing review that got me very intrigued, especially since it was said to be available at a very low price from Walmart. It took me a few tries to find a … Continue reading Notebook Review: Daler Rowney Pocket Sketchbook

Let’s get this situation rectified tout suite. (Or 今すぐ , imasugu, as may be more appropriate.) This Nolty Notebook is model # NTBNT3201. … Continue reading Nolty Landscape Format Notebook
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.

In part 1 of my review of the Louise Carmen notebook, I cover the qualities of the Louise Carmen Pocket Heritage notebook itself. Now I’ll talk about how I managed to obtain it!

Their website, and their Instagram, feature some some pretty mouth-watering … Continue reading Louise Carmen Notebook Review Part 2: Where to Buy
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.
