Starbucks Planners
A while back, I got this tip from a reader named Dom: I’m not sure if Notebook Stories ever covered this before, but here in the Philippines (and other Asian countries I believe) Starbucks does a special promotion every Christmas season where they release a limited-edition Starbucks planner. It is so popular here that it has … Continue reading Starbucks Planners
Review and Giveaway: Castelli Notebooks
Castelli Italy recently provided me with a lovely assortment of their latest products. (Also see my last review of Castelli notebooks from 2014.) My first impression was “elegant.” The dark colors and black and gold packaging really look snazzy, the stationery equivalent of an formal evening gown. As with an evening gown, some people may … Continue reading Review and Giveaway: Castelli Notebooks
Review: Iconic Essay Notebook
Here’s a notebook that gets a lot of points for style: the Iconic Essay Book. “Un Recueil D’Essais” means “collection of essays,” and this notebook suggests that you “write down every precious moment of your life”. The cover design looks like an old-fashioned book- various colors are available but the maroon color I chose seemed … Continue reading Review: Iconic Essay Notebook
What I’m Using Now (January 2018)
Here’s the most recent update to my “using now” photo: My main daily notebook is still the squared pocket Moleskine. A pocket Moleskine sketchbook is also a daily carry. And I have added the Nolty 2018 diary to my daily carry as well– I was originally thinking I would keep it by my bedside to … Continue reading What I’m Using Now (January 2018)

Notebook Addict of the Week: Susannah Conway
Here’s an addict I found via Pinterest: Susannah Conway, an author, photographer and teacher. I love how her Filofax collection is so varied colorful, and her Moleskines are so monochrome and orderly! These are my journals dated 2003 – 2011. All large ruled Moleskines. They are the first things I would try to save if … Continue reading Notebook Addict of the Week: Susannah Conway
Questions from Readers
Here’s the latest batch of questions from our readers: Hillary loved the Writersblok Planner, but they aren’t making one for 2018. (The company is hoping to bring it back in the future.) She is looking for an alternative. What are your favorite planners to recommend? I am loving my Japanese Nolty planner and totally recommend … Continue reading Questions from Readers
2018 Nolty Diary from Japan
I don’t focus a lot on diaries and planners on this site, mainly because I haven’t used a paper planner myself for many years. But every once in a while, I see something that I have to have. I spotted this pocket size Nolty planner at the Kinokuniya bookstore in NYC, amongst a few other … Continue reading 2018 Nolty Diary from Japan
1980s Uncalendar Planner
I used a few of these little planners when I was in college in the late 1980s. In the photo below, which includes some of my other planners from that time, you can see a black and brown Uncalendar, and the red one in the top left with a post-it on top is also an … Continue reading 1980s Uncalendar Planner
