The Notebook(s)

Who doesn't love stationary? I have a real notebook fetish and can't resist buying once I've seen a cute one. Hence the need to find a use for each one....
My moleskine was the first in this collection, and so used to be used for everything. Now that I've expanded, this one is used mainly for my sketches. I've got the soft, large, ruled one which I love, although I do struggle using the left pages due to how soft it is. I bought this from The Book Depository
I got this one from TK Maxx and it's by a company called Live Canvas. Described as "a personal journal to record life as it happens", I love the fact that this has headings such as "I saw this and smiled...", "I'd love to pack my bags and go to..." and "something to dream of..." to act as prompts when recording thoughts.
I bought this notebook at the same time as my Life Canvas one because I fell in love with the sepia-toned colour scheme and couldn't decide between the two!  It says "write it down" on the front, so I use it to note down any blog ideas and make lists to help me keep track of posts.
Finally, perhaps my favourite notebook. I bought this in Selfridges on an impromptu shopping trip with Mum so it brings back fond memories. I love the aesthetics of this book, and it seemed fitting to fill it with any meaningful quotes that I come across. 

Do you have any special notebooks?

  1. How cute! I love notebooks but I hate writing in them, feels like I'm ruining them (I know I'm weird)! :D

    1. It's be Quoteable Cards...they have a website! I don't think they ship to the UK (if that's where you're based) but I think they have a few bits on Amazon. Hope this helps!

Thank you for reading and taking the time to comment :)

I'll always try to reply, but if you need an answer quickly (or perhaps like me, you forget to check back) then you can always ask via my Formspring.
