A while back while perusing my local John Lewis I spotted a range of diaries from Organised Mum known as Life Books. The Life Book diaries come in a range of colours and sizes, my favourite is the one below – the A5 week to view diary (although some people may prefer the pocket/purse […]

A bright and colourful diary from Sarah Raven that immediately caught my eye even though it wasn’t elegantly displayed in the shop. There are bright vibrant photography of food and flowers throughout the diary which is a5 in size and spiral bound. A week is spread over 2 pages with plenty of space to […]
Countdown to 2010 #2: Handmade Diaries on Folksy

Countdown to 2010 #1: Kiki James
The search for a new diary has commenced. Last week Office Supply Geek did a great review of the Kiki James Tuscan Wrap Journal. Despite being from the UK I had not come across Kiki James before so having read the review I immediately checked out the Kiki James website and was delighted to find […]
Countdown to 2010: the search for a new diary
I got a “reminder” about our next flat inspection – due in February. Went to write it in my diary only to realise it is that time of year again and my diary runs out in a few weeks. Which means I’ve got to start agonising over what choice to make for my 2010 diary. […]
Notebooks: Rosehip Notebooks

It was a hard choice to settle on one favourite from the wide range of fun designs that these notebooks come in. This was one of the reasons why […]
Signature Collection
I had great visions of doing a proper notebook shopping trip when I discovered I needed a notebook to use as a log book for my sign language classes. Unfortunately rainy weather put my plans on hold and today I found myself picking up a notebook in the train station. Signature, in case you’ve not […]
Royal Mail: Inspiration Notebook
With the pending postal strikes from Royal Mail I thought it might be nice to look back to a time when I remember Royal Mail to be reliable. I bought this little red “royal mail” notebook entitled “thoughts ideas and actions” in a second hand bookshop or charity shop about 10 years ago. To […]
Alife B6 planner
This Alife planner was just something I picked up in the Bargain Bucket in Paperchase. This notebook has a PVC enamel covering and is available in a variety of colours. What is so great about this notebook is that it is made to be functional – with a variety of pages, labelled on the […]

As a kid I had the complete Vintage Ladybird Collection – in true organisational and childlike fashion my collection was numbered, colour coded and stickered with my name. So when I saw notebooks in the style of Ladybird books (similar to my penguin book notebook) I had to have one. I originally saw hardback Little […]
