Cath Kidston Goodies

Review: Oxford International

Oxford International is described as for “demanding and well organised business people and academics”. It is brightly coloured (as can be seen from the photograph) – […]

Quaderno Italiano

Quaderno Italiano is exactly what it says it is – a quaderno (exercise book) from Italy. If you used these sort of thing at school, it will really take you back. Thin small book, with space to write your name, teacher and subject on the front cover and on the inside. There is even a […]

How To: Keep a Career Log

Everyone has a different style of keeping a career log, or something for a similar purpose. Other people have no such system.

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.

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 […]
