The Siren Call of a Pretty Notebook

by Kay~Kacey on 9/15/2008

Yes, I’m confessing it here for all of you to see…

claire fontaine notebook

I’m addicted to notebooks.

black n' red notebook

I love ClaireFontaine or Red n’ Black notebooks. Especially when I’m using a fountain pen. (another addiction of mine.) They have the BEST paper for using fountain pens.

spiral notebooks

But I’m not a slave to just those brands. I’m easy. 🙄 I pick notebooks up everywhere. Walmart. Office Supply stores. Barnes and Noble clearance shelves.

pink notebook

I can’t help myself. Sometimes a pretty face just catches my attention. Isn’t the cover of this one grand? I love how the light reflects off of it.

floral notebooks

Always spiral. They have to go all the way flat or they bug me when I write in them. I have them scattered all over my house and whole big old stack of them on my desk. One in the drawer in my bed table. Well, honestly, it’s a bit out of control. I have one notebook I keep right next to my computer that holds my weekly/daily to do list. Another one that I write quick notes about my website, photography…well, anything I don’t want to forget.

They have to be pretty. Or silly. Always spiral.

I know, I know. It’s a sickness. I can’t say no to a pretty notebook that crosses my path. How about you? What’s your Achilles heel? The one thing you can’t say no to when see/hear its siren call?
