I found this week’s addict on Instagram, where describes herself as “Stationary Hoarder / Diarist / Journal Keeper / Urban Sketcher / Paint Lover / Lover of all things Crafty” and shared this image of her collection of journals: On Instagram, she shares lots of beautiful images from inside her journals, and notes that some … Continue reading Notebook Addict of the Week: The Stationary Queen
I’ve been using my Nolty diary regularly and loving it. It’s a great size, has nice fountain pen friendly paper, and the design is cool in a classic, retro, business-y kind of way. I don’t understand Japanese, so I’m missing some of the benefits of the maps and info in the back, but that doesn’t … Continue reading My Growing Love for the Nolty Diary
Since my last update in January, I’ve finished one Moleskine Sketchbook and just started a new one. For my daily journaling and catch-all notebook, I’ve switched from a squared Moleskine to my lovely blue linen-covered Bindewerk dot-grid notebook. I’m enjoying being able to use my fountain pens more on this sturdy paper, though I miss … Continue reading What I’m Using Now: March 2018
Here’s another addict from Instagram, where she can be found as @inst_aga. She’s obviously has a wide variety of notebooks, and her Instagram shows off lots of beautiful art and hand lettering inside them!
A while back, I got this tip from a reader named Dom: I’m not sure if Notebook Stories ever covered this before, but here in the Philippines (and other Asian countries I believe) Starbucks does a special promotion every Christmas season where they release a limited-edition Starbucks planner. It is so popular here that it has … Continue reading Starbucks Planners
Castelli Italy recently provided me with a lovely assortment of their latest products. (Also see my last review of Castelli notebooks from 2014.) My first impression was “elegant.” The dark colors and black and gold packaging really look snazzy, the stationery equivalent of an formal evening gown. As with an evening gown, some people may … Continue reading Review and Giveaway: Castelli Notebooks
Here’s a notebook that gets a lot of points for style: the Iconic Essay Book. “Un Recueil D’Essais” means “collection of essays,” and this notebook suggests that you “write down every precious moment of your life”. The cover design looks like an old-fashioned book- various colors are available but the maroon color I chose seemed … Continue reading Review: Iconic Essay Notebook
Here’s the most recent update to my “using now” photo: My main daily notebook is still the squared pocket Moleskine. A pocket Moleskine sketchbook is also a daily carry. And I have added the Nolty 2018 diary to my daily carry as well– I was originally thinking I would keep it by my bedside to … Continue reading What I’m Using Now (January 2018)
This week’s addict has a detailed plan for how she’ll be using at least 7 planners and journals for various purposes– one for work projects, one for fitness and meal planning, others for daily journaling, art journaling, travel journaling and miscellaneous notes. There must be some other stuff going on too because I count 10 … Continue reading Notebook Addict of the Week: Michelle of Seaweed Kisses
Here’s an addict I found via Pinterest: Susannah Conway, an author, photographer and teacher. I love how her Filofax collection is so varied colorful, and her Moleskines are so monochrome and orderly! These are my journals dated 2003 – 2011. All large ruled Moleskines. They are the first things I would try to save if … Continue reading Notebook Addict of the Week: Susannah Conway
