I Bought a Notebook Today

You wouldn’t think this would be major news, but I realized that I hadn’t bought a notebook in quite a while! Since 12/30/22, to be exact. My stash is well beyond what I will probably ever need and I haven’t seen anything new and exciting that I just had to try, so I’ve actually been exercising great self-control. I haven’t bought any new pens, either. I’ve noticed a few posts around the stationery community about people de-stashing a bit and wonder if we have hit a moment where everyone realized they did too much recreational shopping during the pandemic and now wants to do spring cleaning. I’m re-homing a few items myself.

But today I decided I wanted another little watercolor box (speaking of things I don’t actually need, but $53 seemed like a good deal on this sweet little Sennelier set) and I decided to throw in a Hahnemuhle Travel Journal. The price has gotten very high and in a way, it seems like a stupid thing to buy but I haven’t seen them in stock in many places lately and I wondered if they might be discontinued. Notebook FOMO.

But though I haven’t been buying much, I recently got a sample of something new, which I’ll be reviewing soon. Stay tuned!

  1. I didn’t realize Hahnemuhle made a travel journal. Looks like it does well with watercolor too so you are set! Always excited to see your post notifications in my mailbox!

  2. I’ve been using Hahnemuhle watercolor sketchbooks (both the Akademie and the 100% cotton) as my daily-carry sketchbooks for a while now, and I love them! I’ve never tried the travel journal. I hope you review it sometime, especially with watercolors.
