I shared a photo of this notebook on Instagram recently and a lot of people seemed to love it. I realized it’s quite unusual for me to show off a notebook that is this beat-up and battered! Most of my notebooks are pocket size journals and sketchbooks. I tend to go through them fairly fast, … Continue reading My Messy Cooking Notebook
I’d never heard this term before until reading a post at The London Parchment: I am SABLE (Stash Acquired Beyond Life Expectancy) on almost all stationery products, particularly with Field Notes.

I have a hoard of these older ones and they are still my favorite sketchbook for everyday use– they stand up well to most of the pens I use, … Continue reading My Latest Sketchbook
