Notebook Stories

Today I thought I’d just share some photos of various parts of my notebook collection and where they are scattered around my apartment: Below is a corner of my office where I was going through boxes of notebooks and had stashed some used ones that needed to be put away. There are a few months [...]

The latest new development from the folks at Piccadilly: colored versions of their Essential Notebooks. They’re only available in lined versions, at least so far. And I guess they’re only available through Piccadilly’s online store now that Borders is going out of business! I hope they’ll find some other retailers to work with soon…

Here’s my stack of notebooks that are queued up for future daily use: some Moleskines, Piccadillies and HandBook Artist Journals, plus a couple other brands. Not to be confused with the many more notebooks I have already filled, or the ones that will probably just remain unused. Or ones yet to be reviewed, that I’m [...]

This week’s addict emailed me a link to her first and second blog posts about her obsession with journals: From Part 1: Yes it is true, I love notebooks. I mean L.O.V.E. I buy them because I like the size. I buy them because I like the shape. I buy them because of the cover. [...]

This week’s addict emailed me a link to her Flickr photo stream, which includes these photos (and more) of her very large collection of journals. Wow:     Here’s what she has to say about them: From the attic to various places in my bedroom: paper as far as the eye can see… I’ve always [...]

I recently changed my “What I’m Using Now” photo after several months of its being out of date. I’ve gone through at least 2 or 3 daily notebooks since I last updated that image, a couple of Moleskines and a Piccadilly. I’ve been alternating between plain pages and squared– I keep coming back to squared [...]

This week’s addict was nominated by her friend Julie, who sent me this link to a post with a plethora of notebooks and journals! Here’s just a few of the 38 notebooks I counted in Trece’s post! See more at List-It Tuesday: Journal Possibilities

I’ve been thinking about Piccadilly notebooks lately, as things have been changing in the retail landscape for them. Piccadilly has mainly sold their notebooks (by which I mean their Moleskine-like “Essential Notebooks“) exclusively in Borders stores. They are stocked in the bargain section rather than with the rest of the stationery products. As far as [...]

This week’s addict displays this nice neat pile of some of his “secret obsession”– notebooks: Ever since I started drawing, I have been fascinated by books of blank white pages, i.e. Sketchbooks. A book devoid of all content, just waiting to be filled with anything. Throughout highschool I carried a sketchbook with me at all [...]
