Paper Pens Ink

In fairness, I didn't really need a cover for my Stalogy as it wasn't going to be anywhere other than my desk, but... well, you all understand! I had a browse on Etsy and found a seller who ma...

Sorry for the LONG delay in posting. I've been up to my neck in editing and that has stolen all my time! There may be some light at the end of that tunnel in March. Anyway, for 2020, I dec...

... and no major surprises but it's by Box Clever Press again and is the 2020 version of the diary/planner I've been using all through 2019. Last year, I found THE PERFECT LAYOUT AND PLANNER...

Notebook samples from Cambridge Imprint Recently, I was asked by Cambridge Imprint to review a couple of notebooks. I should hasten to say, these notebooks are not currently available to bu...

As Stu says over on Nero's Notes: Life notebooks  are coveted by anybody who values quality paper. The Noble line of Life notebooks in particular are beautiful, featuring Life's superb fou...

I'm delighted to share this post with you from Simon Gray of Battersea Pen Home  on the history of fountain pens and what to look for in a vintage pen. You can find out more about vintage fount...

This post was born out of writing a post for Nero's Notes on whether my dislike of Moleskine and Field Notes was justified (spoiler alert... it is). They really don't play nicely with fountain p...

It's been a while since I shared my set-up with you, so I thought I'd give you all a quick look at what I'm using at the moment. I need my EDC to have everything in it. There's no point me havi...

There aren't all that many places that sell B5 (at least, not in the UK) and those B5 notebooks that are reasonably easy to get (via eBay or Amazon) are often poor quality. These ones are ok...

I haven't blogged on here for a while (I've been busy writing and editing my novels, as well as writing for Nero's Notes), but I did tell you about my 2019 diary a while back , so I thought, sinc...

Those of you who've followed me for a while (bless you!) will know that as well having an addiction to stationery, I also write books (you can see the covers in the sidebar here!). Well... I'...

In my last post, I said how I was staying in my Field Notes sized TN from Meadowgate Leather as my everyday carry. I only need a month to view calendar while out and about, but I need a larger di...

Towards the start of October, I was wondering what to use as my diary set-up in 2019. It had been a choice between three TNs (standard, B6 and Field Notes size) or go back to a Filofax. You can s...

I've been umming and awwing about what to use in 2019 (see here for latest witterings) and bought myself a small diary to use in a Field Notes size Traveller's Notebook . The one I bought is a...

I know... it's barely October! And I don't normally have things planned hugely in advance, but we have just booked our summer holidays for 2019 and I'm feeling a bit twitchy that other than scrib...

Many thanks to Stu from Nero's Notes for sending me this notebook to try out. This is my honest review of the notebook. Recently, I've been shifting away from the A sizes of notebooks (A4,...

My good friend Stu, from Nero's Notes sent me a couple of notebooks recently. One was this little number; the other was from Poach My Lobster, and a review of that will be coming soon. Altho...

If you've read my blog much recently, you'll know that I've become a recent convert to the B5 size, having a) converted an old Filofax Deskfax to a B5 Traveller's Notebook and b) found that B5...

I've been on a bit of notebook-buying spree. After renovating an old Filofax Deskfax to create a B5 sized Traveller's Notebook , I (naturally) needed to buy lots of B5 notebooks! B5 is just a...

Having renovated a battered old Deskfax into a beautiful B5 Traveller's Notebook , to use for writing, I was in search of some slightly thicker B5 notebooks. I have some slim ones (60-80 pages ...

I LOVE the B paper sizes - from B6 which is just a brilliant TN size (bigger than A6, but not quite so big as A5) and B5 which is the perfect size for notebooks (again, bigger than A5, but not so...

I've realised that the reason I've hardly been posting on here (apart from being ludicrously busy all the time, naturally) is that I'm not angsting or fretting over my planner. When I used a Filo...
