My Messy Cooking Notebook

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

Are You “SABLE” on Notebooks?

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. What a handy abbreviation! I myself am probably not SABLE on notebooks, though I may need to reassess since I’ve lost track of where … Continue reading Are You “SABLE” on Notebooks?

My Cooking Notebook (And Yummy Recipe)

Daily Carry Notebooks As noted in other … Continue reading Notebooks I’m Using Now: February 2019

My new notebooks don’t always coincide with the New Year, but this year, I started a new daily journal just a few days before January 1, so close enough! For a new daily journal, which is usually a pocket-size hardcover … Continue reading New Year, New Notebook Set-up

My Latest Sketchbook

I just finished a sketchbook, exactly a year a year after I started it. This was one of my old Modo & Modo original Moleskine sketchbooks. 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

Moleskine Monday: Reviewing My Latest

It’s been a while since I actually reviewed a Moleskine notebook, and with all the concerns about quality going downhill, I thought it might be a good time to look at one I am currently using, a plain pocket size notebook (with regular paper, not sketchbook weight) which was purchased in recent months. This is … Continue reading Moleskine Monday: Reviewing My Latest
