Welcome to Part 2 of our Why Use A Paper Planner? series. In Part 1 we talked about some of the reasons why people use paper planners, especially the freedom to express your personality. In this post we’ll talk about how people use planners to express their creativity, and preserve memories. Back in the day […]
Our first Writers’ Project interview of the year is now live! This time, we talked with Christian Patchell, or “Patch” as he’s better known, a cartoonist and designer who recently published a book on his experience with cancer. You can check out the interview at the Writers’ Project homepage. While you’re there, be sure to […]
I was poking around online when I came across an old post by needlepoint blogger Cynthia. Cynthia sells her designs online at The Drawn Thread; as it turns out, she’s also a fan of the Note 27, and even stitched her own cover for it! Pictured above and available for sale here, the cover is […]
From Cecilia, our product manager and finder-in-chief of cool stuff on the Internet, comes this amazing Christmas tree at Beck’s Book Store in Evanston, IL. What’s particularly great about this idea to my space-starved urban eye is the fact that you can pack it up at the end of the season by putting the books […]
I’m not much of a quote person — there are lines that I appreciate and have committed to memory, but they tend to be quite random, and very context-driven. (For some reason, this line from Oliver Cromwell pops up during disagreements.) I was still intrigued to learn that author JT Ellison keeps a passage from […]
Agatha Christie, disorganized writer — who knew? According to an article on Slate, a newly discovered stash of notebooks reveals the “utter derangement” in her method: Her less-than-refined writerly day began with finding her notebook, which surely she’d left right there. Then, having found a notebook (not the one she’d used yesterday), and staring in […]
There are a lot of things I enjoyed about that Lapham’s Quarterly chart I blogged about last week — for instance, the discovery that Victor Hugo fought procrastination by giving his clothes to a valet and telling him not to return them until he’d finished writing. Another point that got me thinking was the fact […]
Lauren from Prescott, Arizona took one of our large Habanas for a test drive recently; here’s what she had to say… I’ve developed a true respect and affection for this notebook. I use it to record my textiles activity: ongoing projects, lists, dreams, materials, reference charts, etc. It’s a perfect size to throw into any […]
Got a burning question about fountain pens, ink, or paper? This afternoon at 2:22 pm EST, Brian Goulet will be logging on to Ustream and doing a live video chat with anyone who’s interested. Last week, about 30 people joined him to discuss Brian’s writing box prototypes, ink flow with cartridges/converters, and his own personal […]
Karen tipped me off to this lovely set of doodles from reader Cole Wardell, whose blog, The Orchard, features lots more gorgeous artwork and plenty of pen and paper musings. I love the interplay between the formal script and the informal blotches of ink… meanwhile, be sure to check out the full-sized image here (or […]
