Another monthly notebook from earlier in the year which I had not got round to writing about yet because I hated it. The Travel Passport Sized Notebook from Paperchase with Front Pocket was the usual bargain price for an A6 notebook at £1.75 but the paper inside the notebook was just wrong. Unfortunately when the […]

a Revisit to the Rosehip Notebooks
I bought my first A6 Rosehip notebooks back in 2009. Back then the full range was on plain white paper with bright patterned covers. Some lovely designs but after 5 or 6 notebooks I moved on to new things. Earlier this year I spotted a few Rosehips in a local museum shop, there was an […]
British Lioncrest Notebook
I bought this British Lioncrest Brand notebook as a single A5 notebook (or rather exercise book or workshop book) from Waterstones for £1.75. However, I have seen that they are available in a lot of independent stationery shops as a 3 pack (of 3 slightly different designs) and are available to buy online for […]
Countdown to the academic year #2: Paperchase
You should know that I LOVE Paperchase with its bright colours, funky patterns and cute animals. Once again paperchase have produced a fantastic new range of mid-year diaries. The main theme is nature – with plenty of cute animals and plants featuring in this years collection. Their mid-year diaries include student essentials such as timetable […]
Countdown to the academic year #1: Letts Diaries
Kicking off the countdown with one of my all time favourite diaries – Letts which have a fantastic collection of academic diaries. I love their traditional ‘Letts’ plain bound diaries as they remind me of being a child (I had a letts desk diary each year to play with). However for being a student and […]
Student and Academic Planner Countdown
I have decided to revive an old blog series which I started in 2010 where I have a closer look at some of the diary options for the upcoming year. However, this time I am taking a closer look at some academic / student planners or diaries which run from 2013 to 2014. But first… […]
Student Planners – a great foundation for future planning.
Back to School season is approaching fast and I was thinking the other day about the good old-fashioned homework diary (Student Planner) that my school provided me with. I no longer have a copy lying around otherwise I would have added in some pictures. It had the school logo on the front, a Timetable section […]
a selection of Gardening Journals….
Father’s Day (16 June) is fast approaching and I am once again struggling with an idea for a present. This year I was thinking about Gardening Journals after seeing a pretty laid out promotional stand for gardening books in Waterstones which included the Moleskine Gardening Journal and I decided to have a look and see […]
Address Book from Pictura
Today is a bit of an odd one. An address book. Who uses those anymore I hear you ask. Well, I got it as a gift from my grandparents and thought I would add it to the blogging pile. The cover has a velvety feel (the black lines and magnetic closure are velvety) and personally […]
Ink Test: in the Leuchtturm 1917 Jottbook
Last month I wrote about my monthly notebook for May the Leuchtturm 1917 Jottbook. At the time of writing this was a fresh and new notebook, now it is almost full (and I am not even half way through the month yet). That is clearly a good sign. If I like it, I use it. […]
