This week’s addict is Heather at A Penchant for Paper. I really enjoyed her post about her system of using multiple notebooks, including the ones below: “I have multiple notebooks, multiple pens and pencils, and multiple pen cases, all of them equally stuffed full, and I still find myself acquiring more, although not quite as … Continue reading Notebook Addict of the Week: A Penchant for Paper
Wouldn’t you love to read what’s in this diary? Well, you can!

Of course I was thrilled when I opened the wrapping paper and saw it: The notebook is about 4×6″, with what appears to be a hand-painted suede cover. … Continue reading Western Suede-covered Diary from 1949
