my notebooks

i love writing, 
and i keep all sorts of notebooks for different things : 
recipes, quotes,
lists of things to do, 
accounts, bills, 
new languages, things that pops up in my head ...
i used to buy all sorts of notebooks, 
but gradually i've settled with the A5 size range, 
and mostly moleskines. 
i fell in love with the moleskine 
the minute my hands touched its cover.
i've been writing in moleskine ever since. 
especially diaries. and i love it. 
it makes writing so enjoyable. so smooth, 
like using a good pen.
i love looking at my moleskine collection, 
as it grows... 

but i still enjoy the occasionally colourful notebooks, 
especially the paperblank series.

in the images below the top notebook was purchased in Italy, 
it is a hand-made marble print, 
absolutely beautiful craftsmanship... 
still one of my favourites.





it has always been my dream 
to design my own series of notebooks.
but i must admit, 
nothing is more ingenious 
than the moleskine.



it is simple, luxurious, and gives me the freedom of writing.
